Zaev says the name “New Macedonia” is unacceptable

For the Financial Times, besides this name proposal, Zaev reiterated other options; Republic of Macedonia (Skopje), Northern Macedonia, Upper Macedonia and Macedonia of Vardar. Zaev voiced optimism about the name solution, stressing that constitutional differences, however, would not be sufficient guarantees.

Now Greece's new demand is to change our constitution. But a Constitution is a book of house rules. It has no influence abroad. In any case, changing the Constitution would not be the ultimate guarantee, because a future Government in the future could change that HINA said Zoran Zaev, prime minister.

This Zaev statement has encountered in response to the Greek opposition. Potami party leader Stavros Theodorakis for local media has stressed the importance for constitutional changes, saying Macedonia's path to Euro-Atlantic structures passes from Athens.

There is no question of a composite name. Zaev, who initially showed seriousness, must understand that the road to NATO and the EU is not high but runs through Athens. That's what I need to understand. Iredentism must be removed from the Constitution, and the books Stavros Theodorakis, Potami, said.

Even with the Greek opposition's insistence that the new name not contain the term “Macedonia”, the Greek government, however, continues to adhere to the initial position, for a name “Erga Omnes” that will be created on the basis “Macedonia”.
