However, the council also noted the differences that had arisen over the name of the state and welcomed the co-chairmen of the Steering Committee of the International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia for their efforts to settle the dispute.[1] For this reason, the council decided that the state should be admitted under the provisional name of the "former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" until the dispute was resolved.
