We are doing our best to alter the situation related to the name dispute for Macedonia to succeed in its efforts to join NATO and commence the EU-accession talks, Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski said Monday.

"Regardless of our constant dissatisfaction with Greece's attitude, which is not ungrounded, as the (country's) authorities keep avoiding meetings and do not wish for a solution to the problem, we are fully active and work as much as possible on all aspects to contribute to changing the situation for the Republic of Macedonia to succeed in the efforts to join NATO and commence the EU (accession) talks. However this is not a simple matter, as Greece is part of both EU and NATO, thus enjoying all membership rights, including the one for imposing veto," Gruevski told reporters after opening a Environmental Measurements Laboratory in Skopje Faculty.

The PM announced that he would visit Brussels in few days for meetings with NATO Ambassadors and Secretary General.
