American diplomat Matthew Nimetz, who is tasked by the UN to mediate the resolution of the naming dispute between Greece and FYROM, met with ambassadors Adamantios Vasilakis and Zoran Jolevski in New York on Thursday. Mr. Nimetz is scheduled to meet the two ambassadors at the UN HQ on Friday.

Martin Nezirski, the representative of the UN’s General Secretary, explained that finding a solution to the naming dispute is in the interest of both countries and the greater region in the West Balkans.

Mr. Nezirski expressed his hopes that the current round of talks will lead to serious negotiations and a mutually accepted solution to the naming dispute.
