The newly re-elected conservative administration led by Costas Karamanlis has decided to adopt a tough bargaining stance, aiming at an «honest compromise» with the tiny Balkan state, currently referred to as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM). The road to a final agreement will not be easy. Key states are expected to intensify their diplomatic pressure on the government in Athens to agree to a compromise solution.
