These days, the minister has conducted many telephone conversations with important politicians, like with the European commissar for enlargement, Olli Ran, the deputy state secretary, Nicola Barns, with the ministries of the member-countries of EU, the ambassador of the European Commission in Macedonia, Donato Kjarini and with the Chinese and Russian Ambassadors in our state. Macedonian position about the dispute, was explained by Mitreva in two key points – in the agenda of EU, the dispute about the name of Macedonia cannot be added and the criterions of Copenhagen are the unique valid criterions for Euro integration of Macedonia. More exactly, in any article of the Temporary agreement and in the Resolution of UN, there is not such a think that Macedonia should talk about the name, but to talk about the differences about the name and the Greece is obligated to allow the integrations of our country in EU and in the other international organizations.
