President Branko Crvenkovski asked for objective evaluation of Macedonia's achievements, the results of the reforms, and the fulfilling of the criteria necessary for accession to NATO, in the letter that he sent to the heads of the 26 NATO member countries yesterday.

Crvenkovski expressed conviction in the letter that NATO would not let Greece realize its threats of vetoing Macedonia's accession, stressing that the name dispute is not a criterion for membership in NATO.
