Heavy political climate prevails in Skopje in view of the new round of
negotiations on the name issue, announced by the UN. After a marathon
session, the majority of FYROM Parliament voted in favour of its
dissolution and the holding of early elections, whose date must be set
within two months. Earlier FYROMs President and political leaders had
agreed on the countrys participation in the new round of negotiations
under UN special envoy Mathew Nimitz, who is to visit Skopje and Athens
next Thursday. Greek Foreign Minister, Dora Bakoyianni said that
forthcoming elections in Skopje could not be placed as alibi to delay
negotiations. In her interview with newspaper "Hmerisia", Mrs.
Bakoyianni underlined that both Greece and the international community
expects our neigbouring country to respond as soon as possible to the
call for a mutually acceptable solution to the name issue within the
frame of NATO Summit decision, including geographical determination of
the term Macedonia.
