- The Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends that writings of the Greek media regarding the name issue be carefully reported by the Macedonian press. In the announcement sent to the media it is said that this is an important moment in the dialogue mediated by Mr. Nimetz. According to the Foreign Ministry, certain Greek media release information to divert the public attention and diminish the significance and position of the other party in the dispute. "Only Jolevski's statements reflect Macedonia's state positions to the name issue," says the press release from the Foreign Ministry.
