FYROM AND THE COUNTRY NAME MACEDONIA

Motion Text

That this House notes with concern the use of the country name Macedonia to describe the former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia in a bilateral agreement between that country and the USA; is conscious of the continuing dispute between Greece and FYROM over entitlement to use the country name Macedonia which is currently before the UN; condemns the use of that country name in this document as an insult both to Greece and to the UN; and requests that Her Majesty's Government be vigilant to avoid the use of the country name Macedonia when referring to FYROM.
