Macedonia, Croatia and Albania in NATO?

[GMantis]

I'm in favor of the admission of Macedonia - for they really need protection. I'm absolutely against Albania, which doesn't deserve it all and until Croatiahas made reparations for the war crimes they commited, I'm against their admission.

Macedonia is a historical Greek area- Alexander the Great was from there.

I've no objection to adding any of these. Albania itself might be slightly problematic- it borders Kosova. That said, I support it it would be interesting to look at some F-7s (Chinese version of the MiG-21)

Since you seem to be using local names, would you mind calling Bulgaria Balgariya from now on. Or does this reverence extend only to Albanians?

I'm using English-language names- there is no agreement on the correct name for the new state. The use of Kosova shows my point of view on the issue- I support an independent state. Look at any English language Albanian source- they use Kosova.

I use Kyiv for the capital of Ukraine, due to the Ukrainian point of view on that issue.

Your country's government uses Bulgaria in the English language version of its website, so it appears to have no objection to use of the English spelling.

You'll notice in that quote I don't use Elláda, Makedonija, or Zhōnghuá.

That's understandable, though I was a bit annoyed as no one used this name until independence and now it seems to have become preferable.
