A holder of Railplus card can get 25% reduction to most international routes around Europe.As the Greek railways company TRAINOSE has ceased all international trains from which country do you suggest me to buy a Railplus card?

Hej,
Railplus is granted on standard tariff tickets on international connections only, usually not for special deals - but good value anyway.
Does TRAINOSE not offer a Railplus card anymore?
It still should sell Railplus cards, at least according to my documents. If you dont get one at TRAINOSE, you could get it also at most neighbouring railways, but not in Italy and not in Turkey.

No, sorry, I dont know.
You could get the tickets also in Skopje or Beograd and travel there from Saloniki by bus.

R+ is for most not good value at all-unless you get it included in a national Bahncard/discount card. The advance purschase ''Sparpeise'' etc are NOT discounted-and come out loads cheaper as full fare-25%.
Also-as you seem to live in Serbije or so- in that area of balkan INTernational fares (these can be lots different=higher as domestic) are already 50% discount, IF bought in that area-where Balkan Flexi is valid.
Rail+ is mostly only sold together with a national card. AFAIK ONLY BE and LUX sell them loose-for 15 or 25 eur, valid 1 year.
IF you really want them, and if its only for 3 monthes summer or so- my advice is best by for the Bahncard of DB-they nearly always have some special offer for a short time- mostly 25/29 eur, but you MUST cancel it before ends, as it is a permanent subscription to longer time BC. You can order online-maybe the guys from this site also have that, as they are DB-agents.
Note that both Serb and Slovak Railway has its OWN Rail+ card-these are DIFFERENT!!
