(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. (ANSA).
