UN name mediator meets opposition VMRO-DPMNE leader

The name negotiations should resume within the UN framework and abide to the documents and principles of the Security Council, Interim Accord and the ruling of the International Court of Justice, opposition VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski told UN mediator Matthew Nimetz.

At the meeting, VMRO-DPMNE voiced concern over certain ‘irritating’ developments in Greece, which have been provoking ‘negative sentiment’ towards the Republic of Macedonia and ‘do not contribute to the entire (name negotiating) process’, the party said in a press release.

The solution for which Macedonia’s government has been negotiating should preserve the state interests and the national identity of the Macedonians, Mickoski told Nimetz.
