Greek Parliament to vote on Macedonia’s NATO accession on Friday

The Greek Parliament will vote on the protocol that paves the way for the Republic of Macedonia’s accession to NATO under the name “Republic of North Macedonia,” as agreed with the Prespa Agreement signed by both countries.

Greece’s Parliament Speaker Nikos Voutsis on Tuesday said the accession protocol would be presented to a special parliamentary committee on Thursday and put to a vote by the House the following day.

Greek MPs ratified the name agreement with Macedonia earlier this month, clearing the country’s path to NATO and to European Union membership.
