Skopje Lacks Will To Resolve FYROM Dispute

The Greek foreign ministry blamed the lack of progress in negotiations to settle the issue of FYROM on a lack of political will from Skopje's government.

    “The process under [UN special envoy Matthew Nimetz] for a solution to the issue of FYROM’s name has unfortunately dragged on a long time because the necessary political will on the other side is lacking,” foreign ministry spokesman Grigoris Delavekouras told reporters on Thursday during a press briefing.

The spokesman did not go into details about the latest proposal made by Nimetz and said that the positions of the Greek government would be announced after Ambassador Adamantios Vassilikis had returned to Athens and the ministry had been fully briefed.

Delevekouras once again reiterated that Greece’s position is to find an “erga omnes” name qualified by a geographic determinant and underlined that the government is going to reply to Nimetz once it is has evaluated the proposal.
