Macedonian president accuses Greek nationalists The time has come for political and economic unification of Europe, pointed out President Ivanov, who will meet with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and other top officials of the country which is currently presiding the EU, Hungarian agency MTI reported. In the interview, Ivanov spoke out against "Greek nationalists who want Macedonia to change its constitutional name". The dispute between Skopje and Athens over the name of Macedonia will certainly be on the agenda in the meetings with Hungarian officials. The Greeks claims that the name the Republic of Macedonia shows Skopje's territorial pretensions, as this has been the name of a northern Greek province since ancient times. Greece has blocked Skopje from joining NATO and from starting EU accession talks despite having been a membership candidate since 2005.
