US House Resolution 1361 refers to 'former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia'
NEW YORK (ANA-MPA / T. Ellis) -- The US House of Representatives this week approved, via voice vote, House Resolution 1361 regarding the Durban Review Conference, in which the resolution's text refers to the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) rather than the "constitutional name" of the one-time Yugoslav republic, as recognised by the Bush administration shortly after the 2004 elections.
The development comes as US House Resolution 356 and US Senate Resolution 300 call on FYROM to cease its "hostile activities or propaganda" against Greece and to work towards a mutually acceptable solution to the still-unresolved "name issue".
