Nimetz wrote to Kodzias, Nuland tomorrow in Athens

-

Mediator in the name dispute Matthew Nimetz established contact with the new head of the Greek diplomacy, Nikos Kodzias. According to the newspaper “Ethnos”, Nimetz sent a letter to Kodzias to congratulate him on taking office, expressing willingness to visit Athens to interact and meet with the new Greek government. The newspaper notes that Greece formally replied to the letter of the mediator, without any invitation for Nimetz to visit the Greek capital in near future.
Kodzias will tomorrow afternoon hold a meeting with Victoria Nuland, the US assistant secretary of state for European affairs, on which it will be discussed about European issues and issues that concern the two countries.
On the Greek side, what is heard is the opinion of a package of measures to build confidence that Greece would have referred to Macedonia as a gesture of goodwill. According to the newspaper “Kathimerini”, the international community and the European Commission is already involved and interested in the whole situation. The newspaper notes that it is still unclear what the specific measures would be, whether the Macedonian side would accept them and, if it does, in what framework would the talks for these measures develop, i.e. whether they would be done within the United Nations, at the bilateral level or under the umbrella of the EU. However, according to the newspaper, what is worrying is that there is no reaction from the UN and even though long time has passed since Kodzias mentioned the measures.
In the analysis of “Kathimerini”, it is shown for the measured that the idea of them derived after numerous pressures from the US, Germany and the EU, which are asking to intensify negotiations between Macedonia and Greece at all costs to finally close the door of the 20 year-old name dispute. As noted in the text, the Greek diplomatic assessments are that currently there are no favorable conditions for resolving the dispute because it has come to the idea of confidence building measures, which would be a way Greece to point out the problem with the irredentism of the Macedonian Government to the international community.
