- Athens rejected mediator Nimetz's proposal. Most remarks concern the scope of use of the compromise name. Macedonian negotiator Zoran Jolevski is going to communicate to Nimetz today that Macedonia is ready to accept that "Northern Republic of Macedonia" be used in all international organizations and that the constitutional name remain for the 125 countries that have already recognized it. Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski said in Krusevo Wednesday he hoped the name issue would be resolved.
