- Mediator Matthew Nimetz confirmed Monday in Athens that he does not bring a new proposal for the name dispute but that he is coming with a mission to check the positions of Skopje and Athens. According to Nimetz, these are very difficult negotiations and the most important thing is for every side to understand the positions of the other side. On Wednesday, Nimetz is to pay a visit to Skopje to meet with the Macedonian state leadership.
