Macedonia was not formally notified about the shift in Mexico’s position regarding the use of Macedonia’s constitutional name, as Greece claimed on Friday.

Macedonian Foreign Ministry spokesman Petar Culev told Makfax news agency that Macedonia would require a formal reply by Mexico over the use of Macedonia’s constitutional name.

Greek FM claimed on its web site that Mexico’s Foreign Ministry Undersecretary 'briefed' his Greek counterpart Yannis Valinakis that “pending settlement of differences regarding the name of the country, Mexico will provisionally call the country fyrom.”

In July this year, Greek authorities 'officially' announced that Panama changed its position regarding the recognition of Macedonia’s constitutional name, but Macedonian as well as Panama authorities denied the information.

Image Greece once again caught in own web of lies. Last night Mexico sent a thank you to the Macedonian UN Delegation thanking it for the support of Mexico becoming a member of the UN Security Council.

In its letter Mexico used "Macedonia" contrary to the information spread in Greece by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is a second time after Panama, Greece is caught in its own web of lies.

Macedonian diplomats aren't very concerned with what kind of information is being placed or comes out of Greece. "Even if Mexico changes their mind, which they didn't, Greece will need 124 years to change the mind of the rest of the countries" says a diplomat in Skopje.

Meanwhile Pavle Voskopulos of Vinozito, has called the Greek Government Spokesman a 'Liar' for constantly misinforming the public in relation not just to Macedonia, but in general. "I don't remember when was last time he said something that was truthful. In regards to the Macedonian journalists being detained, Kumucakos said they were filming military buildings. This is a scandal because there are no buildings there, let alone military. His lies were an excuse to terrorize the Macedonian journalists." says Voskopulos.
