ATHENS—Greece will bring Macedonia’s NATO accession agreement to parliament for ratification “in the coming days,” the government spokesman said Jan. 31, which will bring into effect the change of the country’s name to North Macedonia.
Once parliament ratifies the NATO protocol, Greece’s foreign ministry will inform Macedonia’s foreign ministry of the result, a move which will automatically bring into effect the name change, government spokesman Dimitris Tzanakopoulos said. He didn’t give a specific date.
