President of Greece Karolos Papoulias began a three-day official visit to Slovenia on 24 November, accompanied by Alternate Foreign Minister Dimitris Droutsas and a business delegation. In the afternoon Papoulias held talks with Slovenian President Danilo Turk and immediately afterwards the two leaders made statements, underlining the excellent, as they said, relations between the two countries, while adding that these relations can be improved even further. Replying to a question by a local reporter on the issue of the name of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), Papoulias said that Greece has made all of the concessions so far, and pointed out that it is up to the leadership of fYRoM to take the (next) steps and abandon anachronisms and fixations.    Papoulias was to meet his Slovene counterpart again on 25 November, as well as with the country’s political leadership, and will attend a business forum scheduled in the framework of the official visit.
