Athens is to getting ready for marathon talks on the FYROM name row, as
the issue is entering its most crucial stage. The timeline is pretty
tight, as the problem should be settled in two months time. Greek Prime
Minister Kostas Karamanlis and Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis
discussed Saturday to steps to be taken in view of the latters meeting
with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in Washington on coming
Thursday. Athens has called on FYROM to abandon intransigence. The
neighbouring country, however, does not seem willing to move towards
this direction.
