PRIME MINISTERPRESS OFFICE
Athens, December 5, 2011
Prime Minister's statementGreece is steadily aiming at the consolidation of good neighbourly relations with the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and will continue to work to this end.
In this framework, Greece has supported the European course of Skopje in many cases.
However, a prerequisite for the full normalisation of our relations is to reach a mutually acceptable solution to the name issue. The continuing provocations do not contribute to the consolidation of good neighbourly relations and mutual confidence.
Greece remains steadfast regarding these positions also after the Judgment of the International Court of Justice.
Our country is ready to continue the negotiations in order to solve the name issue erga omnes, under the auspices of the United Nations.
