Diplomatic sources for the Prespa Agreement - erga omnes is unquestionable

Featured Diplomatic sources for the Prespa Agreement - erga omnes is unquestionable

"Legal texts are not interpreted based on any person's presumed will and desires but according to their letter and spirit. The technical legal term erga omnes, which is the core of the Prespa Agreement, is not open to any dispute," diplomatic sources emphasised regarding the statements of the Prime Minister of North Macedonia, Hristijan Mickoski.

The same sources pointed out that "this is why no question of legal interpretation has ever arisen in North Macedonia since the signing of the Agreement."

Both Mickoski and the newly eleced president of Greece's northern neighbour have been calling their country Macedonia and not Northen Macedonia as prescribed by the prespa Accord siged between the two countries and recognized in international institutions like the Un and the EU. Greece has signalled that nay backtracking of this accord, which was heavily criticized at the time of signing, will risk the country's accesion to the EU.
