Dragan's statement gave me hope. But I wonder out loud if he is referring to the same people that accepted FYROM and the new flag. Or whether sentiments have changed entirely since the early 1990's.

Back then I was just a kid and honestly don't remember if there were referendums regarding FYROM or the flag change so that the people can speak their mind about.Were there?
Giving we were still fresh out of a totalitarian regime I doubt there were,so I'm guessing people never accepted FYROM nor a flag change ( the politicians yes,but not the people) so it wouldn't be a change of sentiments now but only continuation of them.
Perhaps most people were deluded by politicians' statements that FYROM was only a temporary thing and it would be resolved within months.I really don't see another reason why Macedonians would take that so easy back then.
Regarding the flag I still think that the lion on a red background would have been a much better alternative than the ventilator but what can you do.I guess the party in power at the time rejected this because it was also a symbol of their political opponents.Other than that I see no other reason why a Macedonian symbol for more than 2000 years would be replaced by a ventilator that has no connection at all with Macedonia.

I couldn't believe it but I heard grujo say in parliamenr and also from Ivanov that the name was not to change but over time grujo wanted to appease the greeks.The greeks want to monopolise everything Macedonian.They all want to join nato and the eu.The only problem is that grujo doesn't care.

countries are trying to leave the EU
Macedonia is chomping at the bit to get in
From the outset, Macedonia should have stood firm
There is nothing to negotiate, identity is never for sale

The whole game playing, and tactics is distasteful
Have acquiesced far too much already, perhaps Greece should look at the state of financial affairs that country is in, Macedonia should put the boot on the other foot with the EU and state Aegean Macedonia needs to be acquiesced by the Greeks, to help their financial woes instead !

Gruevski Spends Millions on 50 Portraits of Himself, Georgievski

Paintings ordered by Gruevski costing millions of euros and painted by Bulgarian and Ukrainian artists will be installed in buildings across the capital Skopje. The photos were released by an unnamed whistle blower in the dpmne party.

Perhaps their next paintings should be of young educated Macedonians waiting at the airport to leave their country, or a painting of desperate poverty stricken Macedonians waiting for a passport at the Bulgarian embassy?

Anyways, it's good to know that Macedonia's ruling government is following in the footsteps of North Korea

[Tomche Makedonche]

Wow, talk about opportune timing

[Risto the Great]

I pay you millions to paint them, you send 80% to a "friend's" bank account in Panama.

Oh Grujo. Milking it to the end.

"...paintings costing millions of euros..."
Surely not, each one of them is appallingly amateurish at best.
It's either the scam of the millennium or a total hoax.

I agree, these paintings are retarded! And completely out of historical context. Is that Ljubco Georgievski with Bogdanovski at independence with the ventilator before it was even invented!?

[Tomche Makedonche]

I'm making the one with Borkica my screensaver...

[DraganOfStip]

This whole thing smells like false flag.I know Grujo is mad but I wouldn't bet on this thing being 100% accurate.
This is probably onion news (at least the Macedonian people hope it is).

[Risto the Great]

Is that Ljubco Georgievski with Bogdanovski at independence with the ventilator before it was even invented!?

No, no .... there are ancient rocks with the ventilator carved on them dating back thousands of years. It's a real Macedonian symbol.

Ah that's right. I forgot about them - they were 70,000 years old.

This is what I will show all those fanatic DPMNE supporters, the party is corrupt and wastes far too much money. SDSM is no better may I add, such shit political parties in the Republic.
