COORDINATION OF STATE LEADERS OVER NAME POSITION
admin1 – January 10, 2007 – 2:48pm

President Branko Crvenkovski is going to invite Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski, Foreign Minister Antonio Milososki and Macedonian negotiator Nikola Dimitrov to consultations with the aim of coordinating the state position before UN mediator Matthew Nimetz's coming visit. The meeting may be taking place on Friday.

President Crvenkovski does not know still if he and Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski would meet Mr. Nimetz together or separately; Prime Minister Gruevski in Ohrid on Saturday and President Crvenkovski in Skopje on Sunday, considering that the prime minister is leaving for Paris on Sunday. However, given that Gruevski has a late Sunday flight for Paris, a joint meeting is still an option.

President Crvenkovski believes it is very important for the Government and the head of state to share the same position, although he says, " it would be a good message and a good signal too if a joint meeting took place with mediator Nimetz."
