Ivanov-Nimetz meeting reviewed the current status of the negotiations on settling the matter, the President’s Cabinet said in a press release.
Ivanov commended the constructiveness of the measures for building confidence between the two countries.
The Republic of Macedonia will keep participating in the UN-mediated process, Ivanov said, notifying the need of creating favorable climate for better understanding and respect.
‘For many years Macedonia has been contributing to building confidence between the two countries and societies. Both sides should offer additional impetus for settling the matter, which is vital for the stability and prosperity of the entire region,’ Ivanov told Nimetz.
