“The criteria for joining NATO for years have been resolving the name issue. The only thing we are waiting for at this moment is the letter from Greece. If the letter from the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs states a clear wording that Macedonia should receive an invitation, it will be crucial for Macedonia to receive an invitation to join the Alliance”, said Stevo Pendarovski, Macedonia’s National Coordinator for NATO at the forum titled “Positive and Negative Aspects of Macedonian Membership in NATO” organized by the Institute for Strategy and Development (ISD). According to ISD President Tuna Eyup Kahvezhi, in these days when perception comes before reality, a great ability is to obtain accurate information from relevant sources, and then achieve appropriate solutions based on such information, which is why the forum is organized.
