If the Greeks spent as much time on getting their own house in order as they did lashing out at countries most of the world could not even find on a map, they wouldn't have become the first country to be downgraded to a developing country.

Luxembourg is a sovereign state bordering Belgium, among other countries. A bordering province of Belgium is also called Luxembourg. The province of Luxembourg was, in fact, taken by Belgium from the country of Luxembourg. Does this imply Belgium maintains territorial ambitions to what remains of Luxembourg? Of course not, and both countries peacefully co-exist in the European Union.

These olive-eating clowns need to man up and work on getting their own countries in order rather than obsessing over brainless displays of nationalism. What the hell is there to be proud of in Greece or Macedonia in 2018, ffs?! Real strength is forgiveness and admitting you were wrong, not bullying and cheat-beating.

Credit where it's due to both countries for getting it done.

The agreement passed the Greek parliament 153-146.
It's over.

Would ND repeal this when they come to power in the next election? Or is it a "settled issue"?

This is an international agreement, it's not something you can just repeal and be done with it.
They'll say so and just move on.

Tell that to Dump.

And now the denouement - Greek parliament officially ratifies (North) Macedonia's accession to NATO.
