Greece - Alternate Foreign Minister Droutsas' interview on Austrian public radio 'ORF 1'

Our basic pursuit is for Greece to be the motor force behind the European perspectives of all our neighboring countries in the Western Balkans. This holds true for FYROM as well. But we say that a prerequisite for the opening of accession negotiations with Skopje is the resolution of name dispute, an issue that has unfortunately dragged on for many years. Greece – and the new government in particular – is going into this process with a very open stance. We would like another effort at rapprochement with Skopje, a policy that we have implemented as the government in the past as well. We have done a lot for our neighbour, FYROM, particularly in economic sectors. Greece continues to be the number one investor in FYROM.

Hellenic Migrations and Katadesmos: A Paradigm of Macedonian Speech

Secondary sources have informed us that a comedy, “Macedonians,” written by Strattis circa 410 BC contained a piece of conversation between an Attican and a Macedonian, each speaking in his own dialect. From the few saved words and other lexical evidence, Hoffman and Ahrens had identified the Macedonian speech as Aeolic, similar to Thessalian and Lesbian. Romiopoulou (1980) thought that Doric might have been a second dialect in pre-Hellenistic Macedon in addition to a Macedonian dialect.
