In his rebuttal in the debate on the name of Macedonia in the Thessaloniki City Council, Mayor Yannis Boutaris set out the issue of renaming the Thessaloniki airport, currently named Macedonia.

Skopje mayor Petre Shilegov said Greece and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) are showing a willingness to resolve the decades-old name dispute, in an interview with the Sunday edition of newspaper "Documento".

“I do not see a reason to change our constitution,” FYROM PM Zoran Zaev said in response to the statement made by Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias, who a few days ago had said in an interview that the first concern was to make the agreement and “the constitutional changes will be made in time.”
