There should be nothing wrong in waving Palestinian flags at Eurovision

As an audience member in Tel Aviv I saw the flags of many nations on display, why not those of Israel’s neighbours? There were loud boos in the Tel Aviv Expo Centre on Saturday night, and not just when it was announced that voters in Greece and Cyprus had once again awarded each other the full 12 Eurovision song contest points in their annual display of allegiance. When Hatari – the Icelandic entrants – waved Palestinian scarves solemnly to the cameras as their results rolled in, my fellow audience members in the Israeli city made their dissatisfaction clear. It was the first time those assembled in the room were confronted with the controversy that had surrounded Israel hosting the event, and many just didn’t like it. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which organises the contest, sent out the statement: “This directly contradicts the rules … the consequences of this action will be discussed.” Continue reading...

Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs Sia Anagnostopoulou’s statement to AMNA on the establishment of the border crossing point in Laimos, in the area of the Prespa Lake (18 May 2019)

“The satisfaction expressed most warmly by representatives of the local community in Macedonia following the passing of a law on the establishment of the border crossing point in Laimos, in the area of the Prespa Lake, clearly demonstrates that the time has come to witness the actual benefits of the Prespa Agreement. We are satisfied by the efforts made by the government to reach this Agreement. The border crossing that will link Laimos in Greece and Markova Noga in the Republic of North Macedonia satisfies a request that had been standing for over 50 years and became a reality thanks to the Prespa Agreement. At the dawn of this new age, this long-standing request is being definitively resolved in a way that will unblock the great momentum found in tourism, agriculture and cultural exchanges, which until very recently were hindered by short-sighted, introverted beliefs. The border crossing in Laimos, in the vicinity of the Prespa Lake, similar to the crossing that will link Promachoi in Pella with Majden in North Macedonia, serve as the new bridges of friendship and cooperation in the Balkans, built with solid materials and a plan for growth, prosperity, solidarity and peace in our neighbourhood”.
