According to unofficial information, UN-appointed mediator Nimetz is going to visit Greece in the second half of February at the invitation of Greek Alternate Foreign Minister Dimitris Droutsas. Nobody in Macedonia has either confirmed or denied that Nimetz would come to Skopje although Macedonian authorities have notified Nimetz a few times over the past two months they were ready for a meeting in any format and in any place.

Meanwhile, the Greek Foreign Ministry confirmed that it received the invitation from Macedonia for a meeting between Macedonian Foreign Minister Antonio Milososki and Greek Alternate Foreign Minister Droutsas in London on 28 January.

Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski said Monday Macedonia would see to it that more directs meetings were held with the highest ranking Greek officials.

“We are trying to communicate more often to come to a solution and a way out of this situation. This is our objective at the coming meetings,” Gruevski said.
