The EU’s Stabilisation and Association Agreement with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, in the form of a joint agreement as established by Article 310 of the EU Treaty, can contribute to the stabilisation and development of that Balkan republic. In parallel, it can benefit from substantial financial support via the PHARE programme.
However, the EU’s present policy in the Balkans is fragmentary, inconsistent and schizophrenic in nature. There are different types of agreements or relations or lack of relations – going even as far as the embargo on Yugoslavia – which result in a fragmented and ineffectual approach. There is no sense of regionality for the Balkans, which would include everyone without exceptions or vindictiveness.
Finally, intervention by the European Union to solve the problem of FYROM’s name – which is unfortunately becoming a long drawn out problem and could make an already tense situation even more fraught – and to respond more energetically towards negotiating FYROM’s principles within a reasonable time scale, is necessary and useful."@en1
