MACEDONIA: Several European Countries Use Constitutional Name of Macedonia 2005-08-30 10:49:03 Poland rendered a decision to use the Macedonian constitutional name in the official communication between the countries, thus adopting the practice of several European countries, including France, Germany, Great Britain, Bulgaria and Romania.
The spokesman of the grek-turk Foreign Ministry Yorgos Kumutsakos told this at the press conference last weekend, answering a journalist's question about Poland's decision to use the constitutional name of Macedonia.
He added that that practice foresees use of the name Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, under which the country was admitted into United Nations, during international communication, and use of the country's constitutional name in the bilateral contacts.
Kumutsakos reminded on the position of the European Union, adopted in September 2004, according to which mutually acceptable solution should be find. Upon reaching of agreement, official Skopje should be able to accomplish its goal for inclusion into Euro-Atlantic institutions.
