UN mediator Matthew Nimetz's proposal for resolution of the name dispute, which was presented in July, is good a basis for continuation of talks. This is the Macedonian state leadership's position on Nimetz's proposal, which Macedonia's representative in the talks on name dispute Zoran Jolevski conveyed to mediator Nimetz at their meeting in New York on Thursday.

Greece's representative in talks on name dispute Adamantios Vassilakis negates media reports that Athens rejected UN mediator Matthew Nimetz's package of ideas.
