Makedonska pravoslavna crkva, čije priznanje blokira Srpska pravoslavna crkva, navodno u saradnji s moćnom Grčkom pravoslavnom crkvom, pozdravila je inicijativu Gruevskog.
The Macedonian Orthodox Church, recognition of which the Serbian Orthodox Church has been blocking, purportedly in collaboration with the powerful Greek Orthodox Church, welcomed Gruevski's initiative.
