New FYROM name will not be for use 'erga omnes,' says Zaev

The prime minister of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) suggested that this government would not agree to a Greek demand that any name to emerge from ongoing talks to settle a decades-old dispute between the Balkan neighbors will be used only in international forums and not "erga omnes," or towards all, as Athens demands.

Behind the scenes of the Adriatic Charter Summit in Podgorica, the FYROM (Macedonian) PM and the US delegation "agreed on a new name for Macedonia."

This is what Sputnik is reporting on Thursday, adding that this deal was reached in order to allow Skopje to join NATO "as soon as possible."
