- President Gjorgje Ivanov stated that the judgment by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is evidence that Greece has breached the Interim Accord and disabled the Republic of Macedonia from joining NATO. Ivanov said that Greece must respect the judgment made in The Hague and support our integration in the EU and NATO.

Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski said Monday that the judgment of ICJ is favorable for the Republic of Macedonia and extended gratitude to the court on its ruling. Gruevski said there is no need of euphoria and triumphalism because there are no winners or losers in the dispute and the judgment should be used for enhancing the cooperation and the European integration of the Republic of Macedonia.

UN mediator Matthew Nimetz said that the decision of the ICJ deserves careful study by the two Governments and urges them to view this event as an opportunity to think constructively about their mutual relationship and to consider a renewed initiative to reach a definitive solution to the name issue.
