The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia plans to hold a referendum on its new name in September or October as it moves closer to solving this decades-long dispute with Greece, Premier Zoran Zaev said.
Talks with Greece are now “at the final stage” and ministers from both states are working on the last details of the agreement that he plans to discuss with his Greek counterpart Alexis Tsipras on Friday, Zaev told reporters in Skopje on Wednesday.
