The ongoing negotiations between Greece and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) offer "a window of opportunity" to resolve the decades-old name dispute in a way that will be acceptable to both countries, Bulgarian MEP with EPP, Andrey Kovatchev, told the Athens-Macedonian New Agency (ANA) in an interview published on Sunday.
Speaking over the phone from Strasbourg, where he participated in a European Parliament debate about the EU's strategy in the Western Balkans, Kovatchev urged both sides to ignore nationalistic voices in their countries and stressed the importance of a European perspective for the region.
