Electronic media reported today that instead of exerting direct
pressure on authorities in Skopje, Athens called Brussels to make the
move.
According to the same sources, official Athens also raised objections
in the Alliance on the book "Military History of Macedonia" written by
Vanco Stojcev, which contains maps showing borders of the ancient
Macedonia.
Representatives of the Defense Ministry confirmed to some of the media
that certain NATO member-countries suggested to Minister Lazar
Elenovski to remove the maps and the artifacts in order to avoid
provoking Greece.
