Macedonia has prepared three scenarios as to what steps it should take depending on the ruling of the International Court of Justice in the Hague to be pronounced on 16 November, Dnevnik has learned.

Our diplomacy in consultation with domestic and foreign experts has been getting ready for a few months now for the steps to be taken once the Court declares its final ruling on Macedonia’s application against Greece following the Greek block on Macedonia’s NATO accession in Bucharest. Three simulations have been made depending on whether Macedonia wins or loses the case and in case there is a balanced verdict.

If Macedonia wins the case against Greece in the Hague, that is to say, the Court rules that Greece violated the Interim Accord, the ensuing political consequence is said to be very strong. If this, for Macedonia most favorable scenario, unfolds on 16 November, Macedonia will most probably turn to the United Nations Security Council notifying it of the verdict and calling for protection from the same kind of violation in the future.
