95 percent of Macedonians would not change the name of the country in order for Macedonia to become a member of the EU, showed the latest opinion poll conducted by Gallup Balkan Monitor, presented in Brussels. 

According to the survey, there are huge differences in readiness to sacrifice the name of the country among ethnic Albanians and ethnic Macedonians.

67 percent of ethnic Albanians would agree to the change because they find the EU accession a greater priority. Gallup also surveyed Macedonian nationals and established that only 57 percent approve of membership in the EU with the constitutional name.
