"Is Ivica Dacic now in Macedonia - or in FYROM?"

"Is Ivica Dacic now in Macedonia - or in FYROM?"

The agency's headline was referring to the Serbian foreign minister telling Beta in an interview in January that his country made a mistake by recognizing Macedonia under its constitutional name - instead of, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), used by the UN and the EU - considering that Skopje later went on to recognize Kosovo and support its membership in UNESCO.

The article also reminded that Dacic said at the time Serbia would continue to use the name "Macedonia" is bilateral relations, but would switch to "FYROM" in multilateral situations.

According to the agency, the Macedonian Foreign Ministry's reaction was "relatively mild" and was followed by "the episode with road toll receipts that read, FYROM."
