This briefing analyzes attempts to resolve the Macedonia naming dispute, and the consequences of failure for Macedonia and the surrounding region. The paper argues that while there is no imminent risk of a return to violence between ethnic Macedonians and the Albanian minority, the disagreement between Skopje and Athens puts at risk the progress achieved since the 2001 Ohrid Agreement. The briefings lists a number of steps that both Macedonia and Greece should take to resolve the conflict.
