Kofi Annan, UN Secretary General, said yesterday that the Special Mediator Matthew Nimitz, doesn’t plan to come forward with yet another idea to solve the dispute over the name of the Republic of Macedonia between Macedonia and Greece.

According to diplomatic sources at the UN Headquarters in New York, Adamantios Vassilakis, the Permanent Representative of Greece at the UN, met with Nimitz to return his latest proposal that included use of three separate names for the Republic of Macedonia as ‘unacceptable’.

The latest proposal submitted by Matthew Nimitz proposes that the name “Republika Makedonija” should be used by the 106 countries that have recognized the country under that name. It proposes, also, that Greece should use the formula “Republika Makedonija – Skopje”, while the international institutions and organizations should use the name “Republika Makedonia” in Latin alphabet transcription.
