The name dispute can be resolved provided that both parties are constructive and stick to the framework within which talks are conducted – the Resolutions of the UN Security Council, the Interim Accord and the Judgment of the International Court of Justice in the Hague, said Macedonian President Gjorge Ivanov at his meeting with UN-assigned name dispute mediator Matthew Nimetz in Skopje on Tuesday.

"As always, the Republic of Macedonia will continue to take an active part in the name issue talks constructively and in good faith for the purpose of seeking out a mutually acceptable solution to the name issue," President Ivanov said.

At his meeting with mediator Niemtz, which was also attended by negotiator Vasko Naumovski and Foreign Minister Nikola Poposki, President Ivanov stressed Macedonia's readiness for holding meetings at the highest level and for intensifying the dialogue.
