The Foreign Ministry distanced itself from Deputy Foreign Minister Zoran Petrov’s statement that UN mediator Matthew Nimetz’s last proposals for resolution of the name dispute between Macedonia and Greece are nebulous.

“We have no information that Nimetz reacted to this. Petrov gave this statement at a party debate and this is his personal opinion. The Foreign Ministry’s position is clear – Macedonia will continue to take part in these talks constructively and with arguments,” Foreign Ministry Spokesman Petar Culev stated on Sunday.
