We can be proud over the preparedness of Macedonian troops, who take part in such missions alongside other armies. We are committed to nurturing the strategic objectives of putting the Macedonian Army (ARM) at the service of all operations when called upon, said President and Supreme Commander of Armed Forces Gjorge Ivanov on Monday.

President Ivanov, accompanied by Defense Minister Fatmir Besimi, Chief of ARM Staff, Major-General Goranco Koteski, and NATO Allied Force Command Madrid Commander, Lieutenant-General Alfredo Cardona, attended today international exercise "Cooperative Longbow/Lancer 2012", held at army field Krivolak.
Asked if Macedonia would address the International Court of Justice (ICJ) following the NATO Summit in Chicago, Ivanov said the Hague court ruling should be respected, whereas the team of lawyers monitors all aspects, since the Interim Accord has been violated again.
"The team follows all events and will undertake all actions that are beneficial for the Republic of Macedonia", stressed President Ivanov.

Since the NATO 2012 meeting in Chicago, behind the scenes activities, the wording for “the excuse” Macedonia not to be admitted as a member, the meetings between Politicians of various Greek parties with the Greek President Papulias prior to the NATO meeting and comments made which were released and then withdrawn;
There is more than sufficient evidence that shows that in fact another VETO has occurred.
Another ICJ ruling against Greece this time, will almost give Macedonia the right to demand financial compensation for business and or trade lost as a result of the vetoes that may amount into hundreds of millions.
What is of concern is the fact that both NATO and the EU are still failing to realise that since Macedonia became independent, a Greek agenda is at play.
Whatever credibility these two organisations have are being eroded by their consistent support for what is obviously a one sided effort by the Greeks to get rid of this small Balkan country called Macedonia.
Macedonia does have a case against Greece.
