UN mediator Matthew Nimetz will arrive in Skopje today where he will meet with the Macedonian state leadership in an attempt to find a resolution for the name dispute. Following the meetings in Skopje, Nimetz most probably will depart for Greece where, according to unofficial reports from Athens, he will meet with Greek Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis in Thessaloniki.

Nimetz will hold separate meetings with President Branko Crvenkovski and Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski. Foreign Minister Antonio Milososki and Nikola Dimitrov, Macedonia's representative in the talks on the name, will attend both meetings. Government sources explained that separate meetings would be held due to the president and prime minister's agendas.
