North Macedonia's recent elections and the message from Greece
Zoran Zaev announced his resignation as North Macedonia’s prime minister and leader of the ruling Social Democratic party after a landslide defeat in local elections late on Sunday. The move raises important questions about what lies ahead for North Macedonian politics, with the nationalist opposition, which is opposed to the Prespes agreement with Greece, calling for early elections. Tom Ellis, the Editor in Chief of Kathimerini English Edition, joins The Greek Current to discuss his recent op-ed, where he explains what Greece should look out for following the election results in North Macedonia and why it’s important for the Greek government to project the message that it will uphold the Prespes Agreement in full.
