Diplomats from Athens and Skopje are to meet Tuesday in New York for the last round of UN-sponsored talks over the Macedonia name dispute ahead of the key NATO summit in Bucharest next week
The dispute over Macedonia's name has simmered for 15 years but is reaching a crisis ahead of the summit, at which Macedonia hopes to be invited for membership along with Albania and Croatia.
A quick solution to the dispute would let Macedonia avoid a Greek veto of its bid to invitation at the meeting on April 2.
On Friday after a meeting in Brussels hosted by the US Under-Secretary of State Daniel Fried, the Foreign Ministers of both countries declared they continue to stay committed to finding a quick solution to the dispute.
According to Greek authorities, the name "Republic of Macedonia" implies a territorial claim over the northern Greek province of Macedonia and could destabilize the region.
