SKOPJE, Macedonia (AP) — NATO's secretary-general is due in Macedonia for talks on the country's renewed accession bid, a decade after a dispute with neighboring Greece halted an initial effort to join the alliance. Jens Stoltenberg will arrive in Skopje later Wednesday. He will have meetings Thursday with the new left-led government, which came to power last year and has pledged to try and resolve the more than two-decade quarrel with Greece. The two countries disagree over Macedonia's name. Greece, which as a NATO member blocked its neighbor's NATO access in 2008, says it implies territorial claims on its own northern province of Macedonia. Macedonia denies that.
