ATHENS (Reuters) - The Greek parliament ratified on Friday a NATO accord with Macedonia for the admission of the former Yugoslav Republic into the U.S.-led military alliance after a deal with Greece ended a 27-year-old dispute over its name.

NATO members signed the accord with Macedonia this week, days after the Greek parliament endorsed an agreement between Athens and Skopje that changes the Balkan state's name to North Macedonia.
