EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn told Foreign Minister Antonio Milososki in Brussels on Wednesday that Macedonia stood a real chance to be set a date for starting accession talks and be granted visa liberalization by the end of this year. Rehn said Macedonia was undoubtedly a leader in the region in meeting visa liberalization criteria. Macedonia should use the enhanced political mandate of the government after the recent elections for a wise resolution of the name issue by the end of the year, he said.
