After decades of claims, counterclaims and, at times, ugly politics, Athens and Skopje have resolved one of Europe’s most intractable conflicts.
A lengthy, stormy debate in Greece’s 300-seat parliament concluded on Friday with a majority of 153 legislators voting in favour of a deal seeking to end the two neighbours’ long-running dispute by renaming the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia as the Republic of North Macedonia. A total of 146 lawmakers voted against the deal and one abstained.
“Today is a historic day. Greece protects an important part of its history, the heritage of ancient Greek Macedonia,” said Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Twitter at the end of a bruising process which saw his ruling coalition ally quit earlier this month.
Macedonian Prime Minister Zoran Zaev congratulated Tsipras and hailed the outcome as a “historical victory”.
