Australian Macedonian Advisory CouncilDecember 09, 2009 The Australian Macedonian Advisory Council (AMAC) is appalled by the latest statements made from FYROM´s President Gjorge Ivanov. According to MINA news, President Ivanov controversially stated “We will not cave under any pressure to change our name or identity just to be a part of the European Union. We’ve lived this (hi)story many times before, not again. Whatever the outcome of the talks in Brussels, Macedonia (FYROM) will stay right here” threatening to remain outside the EU as the ´Republic of Macedonia´. Ivanov continues: “Europe unfortunately still has leaders who allow to be carried away by someone’s petty interests and hidden agenda.. We see the absence of vision at the EU”. These statements have revealed FYROM´s ongoing disregard for reaching a compromise to the name dispute with Greece, that has disallowed it entry into the EU and NATO. AMAC hopes FYROM will change its current hardline policy, and not continue to insult the European Union and its member states, but instead to tackle the real issue at hand.Australian Macedonian Advisory Council (AMAC)[email protected].www.macedonian.com.au http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/131983
