If the music sounds exotic, maybe so does the name of the country: Macedonia. The Former Yugoslav Republic has had formal candidacy status for the European Union since 2005 but its negotiations to join have not yet begun. Before it may become a member of the bloc it must settle its quarrel with neighbour Greece. Seventeen years after becoming independent, this country of two million people is still fighting to have the name emblazoned in its constitution universally recognised. Athens won't have it, because the Greeks have a region using the same name. Macedonia's Slavic people are also standing firm - about what they call themselves. Speaking are: 0:48 Vox pop (Macedonian), in Macedonian 1:25 Antonio MILOSOSKI, Foreign Affairs Minister of FYROM, in English 2:06 Jovan DONEV, historian, professor of international relations, in English 3:02 Vox pop (Greek), in English 3:53 Panogiotis PSOMIADIS, prefect of Thessaloniki, in Greek 4:36 MEP Erik MEIJER (GUE/NGL, NL), in English 5:20 MEP Erik MEIJER (GUE/NGL, NL), in English 5:49 Antonios TRAKATELLIS (PPE-DE, EL), in English 6:26 Borjan JOVANOVSKI, journalist, in French 7:23 Panos JOANIDIS, journalist for "Makedonia", in French This programme was made available to broadcasters by the European Parliament.
