Rasmussen: Name settlement A must

The Name dispute must be solved in order Macedonia to join NATO, NATO Secretary General Andres Fogh Rasmussen said at the meeting with Macedonian PM Nikola Gruevski in Brussels.

Rasmussen urged for name settlement and expressed hope to see Macedonia as NATO member state very soon.

Macedonian Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski said that Macedonia will do anything in its power to find an acceptable name solution.

“We are trying to find an acceptable solution. Macedonia will continue implementing the necessary reforms, improve life standards and hopefully become NATO member state”, Macedonian PM Gruevski said.
