Nothing has been agreed on Skopje name issue, Tzanakopoulos says

Nothing has been agreed on Skopje name issue, Tzanakopoulos says

There are political and social balances in Parliament that can deliver a very large majority when the agreement on the Skopje name issue comes to a vote but nothing has been agreed at this time, government spokesman Dimitris Tzanakopoulos said on Friday in an interview with "E" TV.

Tzanakopoulos pointed out that "there is no agreement at the moment and, when it exists, we will inform the political forces and the Greek people so that a broad and thorough discussion can ensue."

The government spokesman also stressed that main opposition New Democracy (ND) leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis should have adopted a clear position in favor of a solution, based on the conditions that the country has set.

He reiterated that "until everything has been agreed, nothing has been agreed" and stressed, once again, that the conditions for finding a solution are that the name agreed should be used 'erga omnes' - meaning, in relation to everyone - and that Skopje revise their constitution.
