Macedonia's deputy PM says Russia’s intervention in Georgia could encourage extremists in Macedonia. This could happen if Macedonia’s EU and NATO integration process are not soon unblocked, Ivica Bocevski warned. "Russian action could spur Macedonian extremists" At a seminar in Brussels, Bocevski said that there were two ways that the crisis in Georgia could reflect on the Western Balkans—either towards broadening the pro-European idea or spreading independence. The minister warned that further delays in Macedonia’s accession to the EU and NATO could act as a fillip to “marginal forces“. “We need to open talks (on EU membership), we have to see that process beginning and we have to see that process unfolding,“ he stressed. Bocevski met in Brussels yesterday with EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn. He warned that “if the EU and NATO postpone our perspective, cynicism can easily appear.“ “We can imagine the entire European periphery as big chess board... if there aren’t enough figures on it, then whoever is playing against us can easily fill our place,“ the minister cautioned. Bocevski also criticized Greece for using the “name“ dispute with Macedonia to block its progress and development, stating that the time had come to resolve the dispute once and for all.
