Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Tuesday spoke on the phone with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
According to sources cited by the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (AMNA), they discussed developments relating to the negotiations on the FYROM name issue and Turkish provocations in the Aegean.
They also exchanged views on Turkey’s relations with the European Union and its obstruction of exploratory drilling for fossil fuels in Cyprus‘ Exclusive Economic Zone.
According to the same sources, Tsipras underlined the need for a lasting solution on the FYROM name issue with a change of the country’s constitutional moniker.
He also referred in detail to recent Turkish actions in the Aegean, noting that Turkey’s respect for international law in the Aegean and the Mediterranean was a prerequisite for promoting EU-Turkish relations.
Tsipras will meet with Merkel in Brussels on Friday on the sidelines of an EU summit.
Earlier, the German Chancellor will meet FYROM’s premier, Zoran Zaev.
