Nikola Dimitrov, Macedonia’s representative in the talks on the name dispute, believes that the state should adopt a platform for resolving of the name dispute.

“Regardless of the elections, we need a national, state, and above-party platform for resolving of the name dispute with Greece. A platform that will preserve the identity, without which there is no future,” Dimitrov said for Dnevnik.

He stressed that if there is no readiness for such thing, “the politicians in the country should offer citizens a realistic alternative, a future without NATO and the EU, if such thing exists at all”.
