CYPRUS SCOLDED FULE FOR MACEDONIA

Greece, through the current holder of the European Union, Cyprus, exercises pressure on Enlargement Commission Stefan Fule to change the statement on Macedonia, in which he praises the country for the Euro-integration progress. As DEN has learned, Cyprus fiercely opposed that Fule openly stood on Macedonia’s side and shifted the pressure on solving the name issue onto Greece. For this reason, it will not be any surprise if the Commissioner changes his approach in the coming period and replaces the boasts with criticisms.
