Former Greek PM Alexis Tsipras honoured for 2018 Prespa name deal

·

Former Greek Prime Minister and Syriza leader Alexis Tsipras was awarded the Nikos Nikiforidis Peace Prize, for his key role in the 2018 Prespa Agreement.

The agreement resolved a longstanding dispute with Greece’s northern neighbour, previously known as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM).

According to iefimerida.gr, the historic agreement, signed by Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias and FYROM’s Nikola Dimitrov, officially renamed the country the Republic of North Macedonia. The deal, led by Tsipras and his counterpart, Zoran Zaev, was praised as a major diplomatic achievement.

The Nikos Nikiforidis Peace Prize, established in 2018 by the Observatory of International Organizations & Globalization, honors the memory of Greek peace activist Nikos Nikiforidis and recognizes those who have significantly contributed to the promotion of peace and international collaboration.
