Greek President Carolos Papoulias sent a harsh message to the Macedonian government demanding of it to “stop the ideology of Macedonianism.” He addressed Greece’s relations with Macedonia at the official dinner with Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev in Athens.

In fact, Papoulias only reiterated the Greek well-known red line, pointing out that the politics of the Macedonian Government keeps the doors of NATO and the EU closed to Macedonia. He did not say though whether he talked with his Bulgarian counterpart about Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov’s statement that the proposal “Northern Macedonia,” or any name with a geographic qualifier, was unacceptable to Sofia, Utrinski vesnik reports.
