Pavlopoulos meets with Slovenia's President Pahor
Greece is not prepared, ahead of the completion of the Prespes Agreement and prior to its ratification, to accept any arbitrary interpretations of the agreement on Skopje's part since "nothing is over yet," Greek President Prokopios Pavlopoulos said on Tuesday during his meeting with the President of Slovenia, Borut Pahor.
Pavlopoulos made it clear to the leadership of Skopje that Greece "will not make any discounts on such issues." He also made it clear that "when the time for ratification comes, we will not in any way accept arbitrary - and especially not irredentist - interpretations of the Prespes Agreement on Skopje's part."
The president said that Greece has proven in practice its support for Skopje's accession to the European Union and NATO but stressed that this first requires a solution to the name issue and underlined that the changes agreed upon must be incorporated into the laws and particularly the constitution of the neighboring country.
He stressed that "it is only when this entire process has been finally concluded and after the Constitutional Revision has been found to include all the guarantees earlier referred to that an invitation for NATO membership will be possible and any talks for Skopje's EU accession can begin."
"The content of the Agreement between Greece and Skopje's can then be finalised and come to parliament for ratification," he said.
