SKOPJE -- Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt has arrived on an unannounced visit to Skopje late on Thursday, Beta news agency said.
Sweden is currently presiding over the European Union.
Sources in the Macedonian government said that Bildt's visit had not been announced and that he met with Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski.
According to the sources, it is possible that Bildt will take part in the meeting between the prime ministers of Macedonia and Greece, Gruevski and Iorgos Papandreou, in the Greek town of St. Achilles on Lake Prespansko, on Friday
Gruevski and Papandreou will meet for the second time this month, as part of attempts to find a solution to the dispute between Skopje and Athens regarding the name of Macedonia, in keeping with the EU plan and through top-level contacts, so that Greece's veto on the start of Skopje's pre-accession negotiations with the EU can be avoided.
