“Nationalistic and at times fascists chants from the Greek military at the parade in Salonika is not surprising.

What is surprising is the passive non-responsive ways of the EU and NATO who refuse to issue any comment, four days after the scandal” say experts who described Greece as a mentally challenged child under the wings of EU and NATO able to say or do anything without being reprimanded. 

“We expect, if there is such a thing as a system of values that unite this nations, that system to be equal for everyone, instead of hiding behind some fake solidarity, because Macedonia is at the door of the Alliance”, says Biljana Vankovska, University Professor.

The chants at the military parade in Salonika were demonstration of force and pressure on Macedonia, say the experts.

“This is a verbal pressure on Macedonia, with very dangerous tendencies, I’d say military threats aimed at Macedonia and the supporters of Macedonia.” Says Blagoja Markovski, expert on security questions.

NATO has no comment on the incident, the statement came from Brussels without an explanation. No comment from the EU. OESC will first wait for the video, and may come up with a statement.

“No question Greece behaves like a mentally challenged child who neither knows what it does nor pays attention to the surroundings. EU and NATO are Greece’s parents in this case who after each bizarre behavior by their child, feel sorry for it, are embarrassed, but have no comments in order to protect it, instead of helping it.” says Dejan Markovski, expert on Foreign Relations.  //31.10.08
