The perceived failure of either Zaev or Tsipras in getting this agreement over the line is merely a personal defeat.
For the greeks, failure will not have any lasting ramifications, for the Macedonian people, the enactment of the agreement is a total and unequivocal disaster.
Failure for Tsipras means a long and lonely walk into the political sunset with his tail between his legs and a minor dent of his ego, Greece loses nothing either way...Zaev is the only one that has put everything Macedonian's hold dear on the line to get the deal done, everything that is not his, has been auctioned to the lowest bidder, these are not the actions of a statesman but more in keeping with his real qualifications and expertise as a small town crook.
