Carl Bildt, Swedish Foreign Minister and EU chairman, said after meeting PM Gruevski and before leaving Skopje Friday morning that he did not believe that Greece would veto Macedonia again. He refused to specify what his expectations from the meeting between Gruevski and Papandreou on Friday in Pili, Greece, were. However, he said he hoped meetings like this would be positive and would contribute to closer regional cooperation. He believes that the problem between Macedonia and Greece is a bilateral issue and that it depends on both prime ministers whether certain progress is made or not.
