Alexandros \u00a0Mallias, who was first Head of Mission of Greece to Skopje, 1995-1999, suggests that the two governments should not raise high expectations. They should work to enhance and expand \u00a0the Confidence Building Measures&#8217; Process \u00a0and \u00a0rather opti for a quiet diplomacy on the name issue He stresses that \u00a0fYROM&#8217;s \u00a01991 Constitution \u00a0is a bad one ,being the root cause of problems \u00a0with \u00a0its neighbors as well as of the \u00a0endemic interethnic conflict. It was already amended \u00a030 (thirty) times within 15 years. He is of the opinion that there are still some extra miles to go.<\/p>\n<p>Mallias, former Ambassador to Albania, analyses the Political Declaration of the Albanian Leaders in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, stressing \u00a0its importance for addressing the inter-ethnic tensions between Slavs and Albanians and for solving the name issue with Greece.<\/p>\n<p>Mallias, who also served as Ambassador of Greece to Washington \u00a0(2005-2009), stresses that \u00a0early -since 2007- Greece&#8217;s warnings, grievances and reactions to former P.M. Gruevski&#8217;s irredentism, nationalism and provocations proved now \u00a0to be accurate and right. Yet, the former Prime Minister was not alone in this course of action. He was supported by those \u00a0in Skopje who today disapprove him ,including some international actors. Greece will wait to see if the words of the new government in Skopje will be matched by deeds. Nationalism is still omnipresent in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia starting from \u00a0school \u00a0textbooks.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In his Working Paper Ambassador (retired) Alexandros Mallias analyses the perspectives for \u00a0improving the relations between Greece and the former Yugoslav Republic of \u00a0Macedonia the day after the formation of a new Government in Skopje.
