Macedonia-Greece:Zaev, talks have not reached stage of names

PM, 'New Macedonia' is probably a proposal by Greek media

12 December, 15:16
(ANSA) - PRISTINA - We have not reached a stage to talk about new names, said Prime Minister Zoran Zaev on Tuesday regarding reports by Greek media over name proposal ''New Macedonia''. ''This is probably a proposal by media, we have not reached a stage to discuss new names. We believe that current talks will focus on the wish by both parties to go into the essence of the problem that Greece has with our constitutional name, PM Zaev told reporters at a joint press conference with Kosovo counterpart Ramush Haradinaj, as Mia press agency reports. Expressing hope that the mutual wish of both sides to reach a solution would be confirmed under the mediation of Un envoy, Mathew Nimetz, Zaev underlined: ''We have confirmed this and our negotiator has received such instructions. I hope the meeting will end positively so that we can further elaborate on possible solutions to the problem,'' added Zaev. Greek TV station ''Star'' reported Monday that New Macedonia is the proposal to be discussed at the meeting of UN envoy Mathew Nimets with the representatives of Macedonia and Greece in Brussels.
