Nakon svojih ranijih zahtjeva prema EK i grčkom premijeru, makedonski premijer Nikola Gruevski je u srijedu (30. jul) poslao pisma NATO-u, OSCE-u, članovima Vijeća sigurnosti UN-a i zemljama grupe G-8, zatraživši pomoć u vršenju pritiska na Grčku da prizna postojanje etničke makedonske manjine u okviru svojih granica.
Following up his earlier requests to the EC and to the Greek prime minister, Macedonian Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski on Wednesday (July 30th) sent letters to NATO, the OSCE, UN Security Council members and the G-8 countries asking to help him pressure Greece into recognising the existence of an ethnic Macedonian minority within its borders.
