Bakoyannis: Greece opposes Macedonia's NATO entry under constitutional name


Greek Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis reassured her colleagues in the government that Greece will not allow Macedonia be admitted to NATO under its constitutional name.

She added that Athens' position will depend on the behavior of the neighboring country.

As regards the Thursday's vote in the European Parliament on the report on Macedonia's progress toward EU, Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs qualified the vote as a positive outcome, noting that many problematic paragraphs were removed from the report.
