UN envoy Nimetz speaks to the media after his meeting with Macedonian officials in Skopje
UN envoy Matthew Nimetz speaks to the media after his meeting with Macedonian officials in Skopje July 7, 2009. Nimetz, the United Nations mediator seeking to resolve a long-running dispute over Macedonia's name, was in Skopje to push for a resolution. When Macedonia broke away from the former Yugoslavia, Greece objected to the name arguing it implied a claim on Greece's own region of Macedonia. The dispute has blocked Macedonia's admission to NATO and could hinder its entry into the European Union. REUTERS/Ognen Teofilovski (MACEDONIA POLITICS CONFLICT)
