Greece is not going to let the Macedonian language be referred to as Macedonian in the EU when Macedonia joins the European Union. This was the response of a few Greek professors and journalists in the survey of Dnevnik to the question of whether Greece would make a problem if the Macedonian language is referred to as such in the institutions and documents of the EU once Macedonia becomes part of the European family. The dilemma was raised when the European Commission avoided a few times in a week the use of the adjective “Macedonian” for naming the Macedonian language. Some experts in Athens say that the dilemma whether Greece agrees that the language be registered as Macedonian in the Union when Macedonian becomes a member state will be closed with a package solution to the name, language and identity, Dnevnik reports.
