[01] PASOK leader tours Vergina siteMain opposition PASOK leader George Papandreou on Tuesday reiterated his party's positions on the FYROM issue, both regarding bilateral relations and the neighboring country's prospects for EU accession, in statements during a visit to the Vergina archaeological site in northern Greece."We want FYROM in the European Union, but its path to Europe will be opened by a mutually acceptable solution (to the name issue), which at the same time will restore Greece-FYROM relations," Papandreou said, and categorically ruled out any dual-name solution. Papandreou also accused the New Democracy government of oligory, adding that PASOK, when it took over the government, would assume initiatives on the issue in the context of the European Union. PASOK, he continued, has drawn a 'red line' on the FYROM issue, adding that this has become the national policy line.
