Johannes Hahn, the European Union’s commissioner for neighborhood policy and enlargement negotiations, finds Washington “interesting.”

Hahn was in town last week in part to discuss the Middle East, Ukraine and the western Balkans with his U.S. counterparts.

The latter has recently featured that rarest of things: a resolution to a decades-old diplomatic dispute. “I think we were both very successful, and the U.S. was very supportive on what we call today North Macedonia,” Hahn told The Washington Post, referring to the resolution of Greece’s dispute with that country over its name (North Macedonia previously went by Macedonia, a name that Greece said belonged to its northern region, the former stronghold of Alexander the Great).
