Greece Seeks to Rename “Transparency International Macedonia”
The Secretary General of the Greek Justice Ministry, Giorgos Sourlas, has urged Constantinos Bacouris, Chairman of Greece's Transparency International, to invest efforts so that the "neighboring country is called 'the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia' within this organization's bodies.
Sourlas called for immediate action, since Transparency International "has allowed its branch in the neighboring country to be called Transparency International Macedonia". In his view, it is inadmissible the name "Macedonia" to be on the organization's map.
Moreover, Sourlas backed his request by referring to the resolution on Macedonia's UN admission and the Interim Accord, under which the "provisional name of the neighboring country is 'the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia'."
