[01] Athens on fYRoM 'name issue'
(ANA-MPA) -- The Greek foreign ministry on Wednesday reiterated that
Athens remains committed to solving the nagging "name issue" still
preventing a complete normalisation of relations with the neighbouring
former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (fYRoM).
"Towards this direction, however, there also has to be a response by
the government of fYRoM," foreign ministry spokesman Grigoris
Delavekouras said during his regular weekly briefing on Wednesday.
In response to press questions, he said there was nothing to new to
report over any future visit to the region by UN special mediator
Matthew Nimetz, primarily due to a lack of developments on the part of
the Skopje government, as he said.
