[01] Nimetz cites new proposal
A United Nations-mediated meeting between the negotiators of Greece and
the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) concluded here early
Monday afternoon, with UN mediator Matthew Nimetz noting afterwards
that he gave both sides a new and "specific proposal" revolving around
a composite name with a geographical dimension.
He also referred to a fair compromise, while noting that he is not
setting any deadlines.
Nimetz said the two negotiators, Greece's Adamantios Vassilakis and
FYROM's Nikola Dimitrov, will return to their respective countries for
consultations. The US diplomat added he will be available at any moment
to continue the process and that he is not turning in his mandate to
mediate in the dispute.
Moreover, he said that differences remain between the two neighbours,
although stressing that both nations recognise that a solution to the
long-standing problem will reinforce security in the region.
Finally, Nimetz said issues dealing with the implementation of a
possible agreement were discussed, when asked about "guarantees".
