To Potami leader Stavros Theodorakis has said that any agreement between Athens and Skopje on FYROM’s naming and related issues should be guaranteed by the European Union and bear the “stamp”of Nato, so that it cannot be changed.
Theodorakis told To Thema radio that if the settlement tabled by the government provides that the new name is both for domestic and international use, and if it is enshrined in an amendment to FYROM’s Constitution, then “we must solve this issue”.

Asked about the centre-left Movement for Change, of which his party is a constituent part, Theodorakis said that the recommendation is that, “We must contribute to a solution. I do not think that on national issues a petty partisan rationale will prevail, but rather the national interest,” he said.
