Harsh was government’s spokesman, Thodoros Roussopoulos response who spoke of repetition of unacceptable statements about inexistent minorities in an attempt to erect new obstacles in the under way negotiations on name dispute under the UN framework.

Mr. Roussopoulos stresses that this letter adds up to a number of unacceptable statements by several Skopje officials. "FYROM government obstruction tactics grow bigger every day" underlines the Greek government spokesman, adding that instead of staging provocative acts and tactics which push to a deadlock many years of negotiations, they should be convincing with deeds that they want to resolve the name dispute and build good neighbourly relations with Greece, a EU and NATO member country, both institutions FYROM wants to be admitted to. Greece will not participate in any attempt which will deviate from its target, that is a mutually acceptable resolution of name dispute. Concluding, he referred that the Greek Prime-minister will respond to Gruevski letter this week.
