“Macedonia Chairmanship 2010” is the most appropriate term for us, Macedonian Foreign Minister Antonio Milososki tells Deutche Welle when commenting Macedonia’s upcoming presidency over the Committee of Ministers.
“This title would be most appropriate for us as a country, protecting the minimum of its national dignity as chair-country, it would not collide with the norms of the Council of Europe and suit the institution's spirit that focuses on human rights, freedom and democracy," stated Milososki.  
Milososki assesses that the name issue will not overshadow Macedonia’s chairmanship with the Committee of Ministers.
“Neither we, nor I hope Greece intend to burden the Council of Europe with issues that are irrelevant to the essence and operations of this organization," added Milososki.
The Greek delegation has so far not instigated an initiative for contesting the Macedonian chairmanship.
