Es stellte sich heraus, dass Griechenland das Land war, das Einwände gegen Bulgariens erste Euro-Gedenkmünze mit Motiven des bulgarischen kyrillischen Alphabets erhoben hatte

But why..?
Surprised it was Greece and not the other Cyrillic-using countries.
The objection (from whichever country or countries) was because the design used words meaning “Bulgarian Alphabet”. It was as if they were claiming Bulgaria invented it. Given that the coins from each country feature National Symbols, it makes sense not to let any one country claim that particular alphabet belonged to them.
The excuses for stirring never end in that region. Neverending story.
On one hand it is a bit ridiculous to call it ‚Bulgarian alphabet‘ imagine Italy running around telling Americans, Norwegians and Chileans that they are writing in ‚Italian alphabet‘ instead of Latin..
On the other hand why Greece? Cyril and Methodius came from Byzantium (Thessaloniki) to spread Christianity to the Slavs (Great Moravia)… But they invented glagolitic not cyrilic while Cyrilic was invented by their students and in their honour… Also in Preslav.
So like… What’s Greece’s take here? Also if i may be daring, cyrilic is connected to Greek like Latin is.. all three are related, and connected to Greek. That’s why it’s so easy to lern Cyrlic if you know Latin (like, an hour or two at best), or Greek if you know Cyrilic, half of the letters are the same.. We are not comparing Arabic, Pinyin and Mayan here..
Greece should find something safer to do as the water treaty is coming up for renegotiation soon.
Yeah, let’s all stay petty, that’s going to help Europe.
God really made Greece the pettiest of the nations on earth. Can barely afford to pay off their global debt, yet they have lots to say about a coin…
Since Bulgarian is one of the official EU languages and Bulgarian uses cyrillic, it’s perfectly within their rights to do this
Come on man, we like Bulgarians, why being ballbreakers with them?
Greece made Macedonia change her name to „North Macedonia“ and the country still ain’t in the EU.
And then you got the whole blackmailing Cyprus into the EU topic. Lol.
Ahhh Greeks.
Everything, and I do not exaggarate, everything is invented by them, everything belongs to them.
We should just close the Earth and give the key to Greeks 🙂
>The reported concern is that including the inscription “Bulgarian Alphabet” on the coin could encourage other countries that also use the Cyrillic script and may join the European Union in the future to refer to a “Macedonian”, “Ukrainian” or “Serbian” alphabet in a similar way.
And how is that a problem? I don’t think right now is a great time to be hung up on this petty shit.
Why Greeks choose to be this way allways?
Why it’s also ridiculous reasoning: existing EU countries decided euro will be called euro in all languages, naturally completely ignoring future members. Then when the new countries joined and said they call it differently and it’s actually impossible to call it „euro“ – too bad, you’re too late, impossible, it’s now officially euro in your language too.
why though?!
No 12 points for you Greece, next year. At least not from us.
Just balkan things
Lol greeking. Macedonina is now nort macedonia
Europe is such a petty continet
Hey another Balkan moment
As a Greek, I find it embarrassing.
Bulgaria should change the name of the alphabet to Macedonian. The Greeks will explode with anger. Hahaha.
Disappointing!
This is such a dick move
Why though? I mean we have the iconic 2€ stick man coin, so it‘s not like that we have any standards anyways so let us have some fun with the coins 🙁
Time to cut off your water. 😉
