Foreign ministry on visits by Greeks to FYROM
30 May, 2007
The foreign ministry on Tuesday refused to comment on reports that the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) was considering a measure that would allow Greek citizens to enter the country by simply displaying their police ID cards.
"It appears that there are thoughts in Skopje of adopting such a measure but while there is no final decision I will not make any kind of comment," foreign ministry spokesman George Koumoutsakos said.
He noted, however, that visits by Greeks to FYROM had dropped sharply in the first third of 2007, by up to 40 percent compared with the same periods in 2006 and 2005, and that this may have caused concern in Skopje.
