The alliance between Greece and France at the expense of Macedonia's interests is working again, but this time round in a totally different direction. Nova Makedonija says that in addition to the veto on Macedonia's NATO membership and the threats of blocking its EU membership, Macedonia's admission to the recently established Mediterranean Union, which is expected to grow into the biggest and most influential international organization after the United Nations, is at stake as well.

A Greek veto endorsed by France is looming over Macedonia's desire for a full-fledged membership of an international organization again. It is for this reason, as Macedonian Foreign Ministry officials explain, that Macedonia applied only for an associative membership of the Mediterranean Union.
