The International Court of Justice in The Hague confirmed on Tuesday that it received Macedonia’s lawsuit against Greece.

The Government consulted a number of highly experienced foreign legal experts before it decided to file the motion. Thomas Franck, international law professor at the New York University, will be leader of the Macedonian team at The Hague. He used to cooperate with the Hague Academy of International Law and the universities of Princeton, Cambridge, and Stanford. The second consultant is Croatian international law expert Budislav Vukas. Macedonian Foreign Minister Antonio Milososki is Macedonia’s official representative before the court.
