Macedonian President Branko Crvenkovski sent a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon yesterday, informing him about Athens’s violation of the Interim Accord from year 1995 at the recent NATO Summit in Bucharest.

“The Republic of Macedonia consistently observes the legal obligations that it assumed. Unfortunately, the other side is not demonstrating the same commitment to the assumed obligations, which was confirmed with the recent flagrant violation of Article 11 of the Interim Accord. This article stipulates that the Republic of Greece is legally bound not to dispute the Second side’s application for membership or its accession to international, multilateral, and regional institutions and organizations. But the First side maintains the right to dispute every aforementioned accession if the Second side is addressed in these institutions and organizations differently to that which is specified in Paragraph 2 of Resolution 817 (1993) of the UN Security Council,” President Crvenkovski stated in the letter that he sent to Ban Ki-moon.
