What are Greeces objections with FYROMs constitution?
There are two points of concern: In their preamble, they define their FYROM state as a departure from the ” …historic decisions of the Anti-Fascist Assembly of the People’s Liberation of Macedonia (ASNOM)… “. The problem is that ASNOM had called for the Macedonians in Bulgaria and other countries to unite under Tito’s rule. Their language in article 49 is also problematic (too extensive to go into here). At Greece’s request they have added 2 amendements stating that they have no claims on neighbouring countries. Still, that is in contradiction with their preample, and it is to their benefit to rewrite those articles to avoid contradictions and vagueries in their Constitution.
