The Republic of Macedonia received an official visit from a Greek official this week. It has been almost nine years since a Greek official has visited the Macedonian government to continue the discussions on the name issue. As I was watching the evening news, my host mother found it humorous that the Greek Deputy Prime Minister flew into "Alexander Makedonski" Airport and was staying at the "Aleksander Makedonski" hotel in Skopje.
Despite this recent visit, it does not seem like much has been accomplished so far. However, as many followers of the Israel-Palestine issue can contend, getting the two parties to meet is often a significant first step. So, if you are interested in reading an article about the new sets of negotiations, please refer to the link below.
