  • [01] New initiative on 'name issue' announced

    The United Nations' envoy for the FYROM "name issue", Matthew Nimetz, on Monday announced that he will hold a new series of meetings here on Nov. 1 with representatives of Greece and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM).

    "As the Secretary-General's Personal Envoy, I have been in communication with representatives of the two parties (Greece and FYROM), and we have agreed to meet in New York on November 1. I hope that through the resumption of these talks in the established channel we can lay the groundwork to more intensive discussions that will find a mutually satisfactory resolution of the name issue and related matters. Both parties have indicated a sincere desire to reach a solution. I will issue a statement at the conclusion of the meeting," Nimetz's written statement read.

    Moreover, the envoy also referred to recent controversial comments he made regarding the historical legacy of Alexander the Great, noting:

    "â¦I would also like at this time to make a personal statement regarding certain remarks about Alexander the Great that were contained in a recent press interview. I sincerely regret the impact those comments have had and particularly regret the inadvertent introduction of historical comments into the agreed diplomatic process. I take this opportunity to retract the comments made and would emphasize instead the lasting influence and profound importance of Alexander the Great on world history."
