Russo-Estonian eU Ambassador Orav, not the shiniest coin in the fountain

The Russian-Estonian EU Ambassador to Macedonia decided it's up to him how he names Macedonia, so during a session in Brussels, Mr. Orav opted for the most insulting of all, 'SlavoMacedonians'.

In a speech for AFET, which is the abbreviation for the EU Commission of foreign affairs, Mr Orav stated that the "Ohrid Framework Agreement was very important for the ethnic Albanians and slavomacedonians who interpret the framework differently."



Later, the Russian-Estonian born EU Ambassador spoke about the "Government from Skopje", and of course the bright future of "slavomacedonians".


This isn't the first time for an EU official to be renaming Macedonians as they see fit. For several years, the EU refused to spell out the language as "Macedonian", despite the fact it's internationally recognized and dozens of universities world wide teach it and offer degrees in it since 1944.

Meanwhile, Mr. Avio Orav has ensured himself a short stay in Macedonia and future awkward moments with both politicians and citizens alike.

Even freshman students studying Political Science 101 know this little rule - Don't insult your host.

One person wants me to give examples as to when EU has denied the Macedonian ethnicity and ,foremost, language. Through the years I have read a lot about it and seen many examples of it. Is there someone who has some links to documents or occasions when EU has treated Macedonia this way. I cant seem to find any now that I need them
Thanks
(Yes, I have read about Kacins attempt to make u Bulgarians so I know about that one thank u very much ) But I would like some other examples as well.
