Sarkozy urges Macedonia to resolve name dispute with Greece

French president Nicolas Sarkozy has written to Macedonian chief Branko Crvenkovski expressing his support for Macedonia’s bid to join Nato and the EU, reports the IHT.

Sarkozy is however urging the country to end a long-running dispute with Greece over Macedonia’s name. With French support, Greece vetoed Macedonia's bid to join NATO in April.
