The President of the Republic of Macedonia, Dr. Gjorge Ivanov, today received the Ambassadors of the European Union member states, accredited to the Republic of Macedonia.

At the meeting, views and information on yesterday’s ruling by the International Court of Justice in The Hague were exchanged.

President Ivanov stressed that the Republic of Macedonia urges compliance and effective implementation of the Interim Accord by respecting the international law.

The Macedonian President emphasized it is essential issue at this point that there is no better way Greece to demonstrate its commitment and respect of the Interim Accord, the ICJ ruling, than to unblock the Euro-Atlantic integration of the Republic of Macedonia.

President Ivanov expressed hope that the observance and effective implementation of the Interim Accord will contribute to creating a positive climate for finding a solution in the UN-led process, i.e. the talks with Greece over the difference concerning our constitutional name.
