All options are open in the battle for the name with Athens, Macedonian Foreign Minister Nikola Poposki told Dnevnik, a day after the Greek newspaper To Vima reported that Macedonia is getting ready to seek accession to the UN under its constitutional name.

Citing three Greek ambassadors, the influential daily says that the Macedonian authorities may also launch initiatives at the EU and NATO.

“I would not like to comment on reports in papers. Yet I would not rule out any of the stated options. Every decision passed will be in adherence with the international law,” Minister Poposki said.
