Reality Macedonia : Macedonia Referendum: Citizens' Contribution on the Road to European Union

This, article about about the referendum in Macedonia concerning decentralisation is rational, legalistic and logical (from a Macedonian politician ... no less). It is in response to "Macedonia Referendum: Step Backwards on Road to EU," by Michael Sahlin of the IWPR.

Read the article, but I would like to take this opportunity to address Michael Sahilin directly;

Dear Michael:

I know that discussing issues that are against the interest of US/EU/Nato could get you blacklisted. (After all you have to put bread on the table).

I don't really expect you to discuss how the policy of the US/EU/Nato to stand on the sidelines while Macedonians in Greece treated very badly. (Because lets face it, you have to eat).

I only ask that you keep a diary of your discussions with the IWPR and US/EU/Nato officials. That way, when you retire (and Macedonians have been wiped out of Greece) you can write your memoirs and reflect on whether allowing Greece to kick the shit out of its Macedonian citizens has been a stabilizing or destabilizing force in the Balkans for the last 15 year. (In the meantime, make sure you can put a roof over your families head).

God bless.
