The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reacted after DUI’s statement, and said that they had not given their support to officials of DUI for their visit to Athens. Their visit to Athens was of their own initiative, as well as a party visit and not in the capacity as Government Officials and was “just like the party visit by Foreign Minister Nikola Poposki”.
“The MFA was not informed regarding the visit, therefore can not state the reasons for the trip”, was the reaction by the MFA today.
Their reaction came quickly after DUI’s statement was released, where it stated that this was not the first meeting between the DUI leader Ali Ahmeti and the Greek Foreign Minister.
“At tomorrows meeting, topics of discussion will include the name dispute and specific ideas. In the next period, while Macedonia has a transitional Government, it is the best time to resolve the name dispute”, said the statement from DUI.
Ahmeti, Xhaferi and Besimi will not be at the meeting with the Greek Foreign Minister in the capacity as government officials, said the Minister of Foreign Affairs to “Meta” the day before yesterday.
Greek sources have told “Meta”, that Ahmeti’s visit is of his own accord and initiative, and are part of his efforts to maintain contacts with the International Community.
Our sources say that this meeting is not a message from the Greek Government nor was it their initiative and according to them all the key issue were already discussed with Foreign Minister Nikola Poposki.
