Macedonia & Greece: Name Issue

[Soldier of Macedon]

A lot of Bitolcani voted. Most are useless anyway.

Lol, couldn't help yourself, could you? Pretty sure most of the Bitolcani that voted are descended from Lerincani who migrated north to greener pastures.

[Carlin]

I wonder to what extent are the State Election Commission's numbers correct, in terms of number of eligible voters / number of residents in the country?

the NO vote, sure.

Final hour... I hope we can make it through...

Lipkovo and Aracinovo are Albanian-dominated and so far the "turnout" is only at 41,56% and 38,30%, respectively. How many people actually live here?

Zoran Zaev deletes comment on twitter:

"I expect the parliament to follow the decision of the majority of the citizens"

Can any one summarize in English for those of us who are very, very, very rusty in Macedonian?
Is he accepting this and warning people?
Is he saying too bad, we are doing it anyway?

Would love to know when someone can. Thanks in advance!

Zaev basically said this: declared victory, counting on DPMNE deputies to go forward with the constitutional changes, or the country will head towards early elections

Panos Kamenos disagrees:
"When I spoke about the failure of the referendum, they blamed me; now for this participation on the basis of Articles 73, 74 of their Constitution, it is invalid and 68% of the citizens canceled the deal. Kyriakos Mitsotakis should apologize for wanting to stop the prosperity of the Greeks and the government"

Dammit. So the turnout is low but "yes" won? People on this site had it right, some predicted exactly this if the turnout was below 50%. By early elections, does he mean a new parliamentary coalition or would he be trying to oust Ivanov?


EDIT: I agree with nushevski77 above! WTF indeed.

[Amphipolis]

so does this mean that the greek government has decided to stop the prespa agreement or will they look for other avenues for name negotiations?

Kamenos never backed up the Prespa Agreement.

It's very early to expect a reaction from Tsipras.

[Gocka]

The bloated voter lists finally came back to bite them in the ass. They got 600,000 voters which is probably close to 50% of actual residents. Most Albanian dominated areas didn't hit 50%. Big questions need to be asked of how many people especially Albanians really live in Macedonia

[Amphipolis]

oh okay thanks, what would you expect tsipras's reaction/statement to be?

LOL I wouldn't bet, but your PM has totally lost it.
