There is an opportunity the name row, which has undermined the relations between Skopje and Athens, to be resolved, the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told in the interview with Greece's SKAI TV.

- We have made it very clear that we support the negotiations that have gone on between Skopje and Athens. We think that there is an opportunity here, Clinton said.

Clinton clearly pointed out that Macedonia will not be able to move forward on its European integration until it does resolve this (issue). And, obviously, Greece has to be willing to accept how the name is resolved.

Clinton arrived on Sunday (July 17) in Athens as part of her 12-day diplomatic tour. After India, Clinton goes to Indonesia for a Southeast Asian regional security conference on the resort island of Bali. She also plans to make a stop in Hong Kong and a brief stop in mainland China before returning to the United States on July 25.
