Neki novinari, posebno bivši zaposlenici TV A1, tvrde da taj predmet, nazvan "Paukova mreža", predstavlja borbu između vlade i tad najmoćnije tv-stanice u Makedoniji koja je kritizirala njene politike i podržavala opoziciju.
Some journalists, particularly former A1 TV employees, maintain that case, nicknamed "Cobweb," represents a fight between the government and the then most powerful TV station in Macedonia that was critical of its policies and in support of the opposition.
