Nikos Kotzias says he hopes and believes Macedonians will back the name change to “North Macedonia” in a September 30 referendum, AP reports.

Kotzias said Thursday that once Macedonia’s parliament amends the constitution to accommodate the change, Greek lawmakers will also ratify the deal – even though most opposition parties reject it.
