NATO Secretary General: Macedonia cannot join NATO under name FYROM

Macedonia should not hope for getting a NATO membership invitation at the upcoming Lisbon summit under the name Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), said NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen. He says the position of the Alliance about Macedonia is clear – the country will join NATO when the name dispute is solved.

“The decision is clear and I would add that all decisions are made unanimously,” said Rasmussen.
