The idea of resolving the name issue in stages that the leader of the Democratic Union, Pavle Trajanov, suggested is completely unacceptable to Greece, Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski believes.

“Trajanov’s proposal is probably well-intentioned and I welcome it. However, based on the talks I have so far had with Greece, it is completely unacceptable and they refuse to discuss it,” Prime Minister Gruevski said Thursday.
