The Prespes agreement was released in the English language by Greek Parliament, just days ahead of the demonstration protesting the name change at Syntagma Square.
The document focuses on the recognition of FYROM as the Republic of Northern Macedonia, however also clarifies details concerning the area’s identity, language and people. Not only does it deal with the name dispute, but it also outlines the future collaboration between the Skopje and Athens on issues such as cooperation in different fields, such as defence and education, civil protection, and settlement of disputes.
Supporters of the agreement feel that it would put an end to a 28-year dispute and lead to a new era in Greek-FYROM ties. Critics, however, state that the document fails to deliver on certain points. A rally was held on Sunday with clashes between protestors and the police at the Athens city centre.
The Greek government is set to ratify the agreement this week following a vote of confidence that took place last week.
