Macedonia: The name issue should be resolved as quickly as possible

The statement of Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski that if there was a referendum regarding the name, he would vote “against” is a clear proof that the name dispute between Macedonia and Greece has to be resolved as quickly as possible, Erwan Fouéré, EU Special Representative for FYROM said.

“The public statements of representatives of the two countries cannot resolve the issue, but would rather lead to further misunderstandings. That is why the two countries need to find a solution very soon,” Fouéré said.
