The recent meeting with  Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos in Brussels had informative, acquainting, as well as serious character, as it addressed some aspects of the name issue, imposed by the southern neighbor, Premier Nikola Gruevski told reporters on Saturday.

"The meeting had serious character, acquainting one - considering that it was our first encounter, while the informative part was related to the course of developments in the past. There was also a bit of essence when we talked about certain aspects of the (name) problem," said Gruevski, who today attended a ceremony in honor of handing over the first 40 certificates for national pension to Macedonian artists.

"I would like to wait for the feedback from this meeting. We should wait for several weeks and see whether it will bring some positive response, which will  boost our future contacts and produce a result to the satisfaction of both countries," Gruevski said.
