Good neighborly relations and finding a solution to the name dispute under UN aegis should be FYRMacedonia's priority, for the purpose of unblocking the process of its Euro-integration.

EU has no backup plan in case a solution is not found by June, said Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule at Friday's joint press conference with Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski.

"Maintaining good neighborly relations is of essential significance, especially in the context of finding a mutually acceptable solution under UN auspices. Leaders bear enormous responsibility and have a fantastic opportunity to produce a permanent benefit and give their contribution. There is such possibility in the next few months and it would be best to use it", stressed Fule.

According to him, there is no backup plan if a name solution is not reached by June, but believes a solution is possible.

"We usually have plans B, C and D. There is a window of opportunity at the moment, which is open for plan A. I am convinced that both governments will do everything in their power to use this open window, thus eliminating the possibility of a plan B", added Fule.

PM Gruevski denied there was a concrete proposal for overcoming the name row at the meeting with members of the European Parliament.

"I would like to deny this, there were no such concrete talks", stressed Gruevski.

Pertaining to the opinion of certain MEPs that the FYRMacedonia-Greece dispute is no longer bilateral, but a serious regional problem, whereas the EU should be increasingly engaged in its settlement, Fule said that although it is a bilateral issue, it clearly has regional implications, sincerely hoping that countries' leaders would find a solution.
