No new proposal for resolution of the name dispute was presented at Wednesday’s meeting between Macedonian representative Zoran Jolevski, Greek representative Adamantios Vassilakis, and UN mediator Matthew Nimetz in New York. Both the Macedonian and Greek representatives agreed that a new meeting should be held. UN mediator Nimetz stressed the need for a positive atmosphere to be created and he urged both sides to avoid making decisions that irritate the other side. He added that the elections in Macedonia and Greece are an objective obstacle to progress in these talks.
