NAME COULD POSE AS OBSTACLE FOR ADMISSION OF MACEDONIA IN NATO



National.

It is hard to say whether will Greece use the right of veto, but the name issue might impede the invitation for Macedonia's membership in NATO, German Ambassador Ralf Andreas Breth said.

"It is hard to say at the moment whether Greece will use this dispute as an instrument ahead of the NATO Summit. The following weeks and the visit of the mediator Nimetz should be used to lead serious negotiations in this sense. We hope that things won't develop in this direction, however Germany cannot assume a decisive role in terms of this issue," the German Ambassador to Macedonia said in an interview for Alsat TV Station.

"This issue burdens the ongoing talks. Even if all other requirements are met, in the case the name dispute remains unresolved, the invitation for membership might not come. One cannot rule out such a possibility," Breth said.

The German Ambassador described as ungrounded the statements of the PM Nikola Gruevski that NATO might conceal Greece's obstacles under pretext of Macedonia's failure to carry out the necessary reforms.

Macedonia should now focus on full implementation of the judicial reforms, completion of the Judicial Council, adoption of the bill on prosecutors, execution of the police reforms, "and the matters discussed on 29 May, while the government must not let up in the battle against corruption," the German Ambassador Ralf Andreas Breth said in interview for Alsat.


MD: They don't even know, one day they say it has nothing to do with it, and the next day they say i could be an obstacle.
