hhm that is causality, the flat level of existence, I am talking for higher realms for forgiveness which should be on our side firdt step as macedonians, but there are other steps upwards like humility piety and all the Christian virtues that are moving us away from all that nationalistic possessive pride which rests on some historical exceptionalism that as such is not else but almost vampire lust that leads to another war another bloodbath another misery ...
...yet in case of Macedonia like no where in the world as humans we are negated the basic human right of selfdetermence how we feel and who we think we are, not that this is not case elsewhere but nowhere officially as in our case, thus till this basic right is not given we can be good neighbors by many ways but Greece couldnt call itself cradle of democracy but cradle of hypocrisy, here I am talking about the state brainwashing who still sees somehow enemy of its homogeneous aryan myth which in case there is cultural pluralism many are afraid that that will loosen the stability if not else on ideological anrcho-communist way ...

now this is science and should be left to to the historians, but until NoMa its not full member of eu that would be futile attempt, tho this is very relative thing
if have in mind all the risks that are ahead eu, which on other hand if becomes federal it would promote again the policy of regions as easier measure for regional development and that by itself will resolve nothing from nationalistic stand point even worst will build bigger animosities through whole continent, unless there is some kind of totalitarian regime that will calm all the diversity as unified mass, something that experimentally was done earlier trough ex-Yugoslavia but proved as non lasting approach of identity shifting from local to federal, which even in usA is not in full swing altho as is example in Russia, but in Russia there is one millennia tradition of building such colossal identity between different slavic cultural groups ...
