The premier of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) on
Wednesday predicted that the ?name issue?, the only remaining
difference between his land-locked state and Greece, will be resolved
by the end of the year or early 2001.
Speaking from the Ionian holiday island of Corfu, where he arrived for
a brief vacation, Ljubco Georgievski also told a local television
channel that economic relations between FYROM and Greece were ?ideal?
and an example for other Balkan countries.
The FYROM premier stressed that ?upgraded political understanding? also
exists between neighbouring south Balkan states, a situation aided by
Greece-based entrepreneurs.
Georgievski was met on Corfu by Greek Foreign Minister George
Papandreou.
