Name for Macedonia, today and tomorrow for talks in New York

Macedonia's Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikola Dimitrov today and tomorrow will stay in New York, where he will meet with his Greek counterpart, Nikos Kozias and mediator Metju Nimic.

Last week, the prime ministers of the two countries at a face-to-face meeting for the first time reached a certain solution that would be acceptable to the two sides, but two days later Cipras' cabinet dismissed him on the pretext that you seek a name with time-definition or geographic determination.

On the other hand, Macedonia's government came out last night with a view that it remains in the latest version of that Ilinden Republic of Macedonia and that this proposal meets the terms of the timetable and geographic.

The Macedonian Republic of Ilinden is a timed name that is called in concrete dates of the past and is a real possibility of possible compromises that reconcile the two sides. We expect the proposal to be understandable and to have broader support in Athens”, the government's statement says.

With this name, we distinguish the entire region of Macedonia in Greece. Any difference. Ilinden's rebellion is our multiethnic people's struggle for social rights and freedom. And there is no territorial aspirations against no neighbouring country, including Greece. This is the same war in 1903 as in 1944”, next in the government statement.

According to Greek media, this meeting in New York of Dimitrov and Kocias with the Nimic media is important and key to further development of talks.

According to Greek media,“Noova Makedonija” and “Gorna Makedonija” are possible options for the solution, which were options from the beginning of talks between the Zaev government and Cyprasi.
