Bill Summary
Urges the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to: (1) work within the framework of the U.N. process with Greece to achieve long-standing U.S. and U.N. policy goals by finding a mutually acceptable name, with a geographical qualifier and for all international uses for the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia; and (2) abstain from hostile activities and stop violating provisions of the U.N.-brokered Interim Agreement between the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Greece regarding hostile activities or propaganda. Urges the U.S. government to work in partnership with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies to extend an invitation to the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia as soon as a mutually acceptable solution to the name issue has been reached within the U.N. framework.
AI Summary
This Resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, a country in the Balkan region, should actively participate in United Nations-led negotiations with Greece to resolve a long-standing dispute over its name, aiming for a mutually agreed-upon name that is acceptable for all international purposes and includes a geographical qualifier. The resolution also calls on the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to cease any hostile actions or propaganda that violate the 1995 Interim Agreement, a pact brokered by the UN to govern relations between the two countries. Furthermore, it urges the United States government to collaborate with its allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to extend an invitation for membership to the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia once a resolution to the name issue is achieved through the UN process, reflecting previous NATO commitments.
