US envoy: Time right for fYRoM name solution

Greece’s presence in international fora remains unaffected by the economic crisis and the tough economic conjecture due to the international prestige enjoyed by Prime Minister George Papandreou, US ambassador to Greece Daniel Speckhard (photo) underlined on Friday.
Speaking to reporters at the US consulate in Thessaloniki, he praised Greece’s economic presence in the Balkans, pointing out that as a member of the EU the country represents the greater European market.
As regards the prospects for US investments in Greece, Amb. Speckhard underlined the need for less red-tape and the implementation of structural reforms to make the business environment more flexible and friendly.
On the fYRoM “name issue”, he stated that “this is a good time” for a solution and reiterated that the United States will support any settlement mutually reached by Athens and Skopje.
Speckhard’s tenure as US ambassador in Greece ends in the coming period.
