BBC News - HARDtalk, Zoran Zaev

Zeinab Badawi speaks to the Prime Minister of Macedonia, Zoran Zaev.

In the face of many challenges does Zoran Zaev, Prime Minister of Macedonia, have what it takes to set his country on a path of greater prosperity?

For nearly three decades the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has been locked in a bitter dispute with neighbouring Greece over its name. There's a Greek province called Macedonia. Well last month the two countries signed a historic accord to change the name of this small Balkan state to the Republic of North Macedonia - subject to a referendum. The agreement paves the way for Macedonia to join the EU and Nato. This would be a welcome step for a country that is one of the poorest in Europe. But challenges from nationalist hardliners, the opposition and the President signal stormy times ahead for the social democratic government. Zeinab Badawi speaks to Prime Minister Zoran Zaev. Does he have what it takes to change hearts and mind and set his country on a path of greater prosperity?
