Macedonian PM forbidden to fly over Greece in name hissy fit
2005-03-17
"Petty, party of one, your table is ready..."
Macedonia has officially protested to Greece after a plane carrying Prime Minister Vlado Buckovski was prevented from flying over Greek territory, a government spokesman said Tuesday. Buckovski was on his way to Turkey on Monday in a special government flight when aviation authorities in Athens notified their Macedonian counterparts that the flight did not have permission to use Greek air space, Dusko Uzunov said. He said the problem stemmed from a long-running bilateral dispute about Macedonia's name, which Greece refuses to recognise as it is the same as the northern Greek province of Macedonia. Greece has threatened to block Skopje's bid to join the European Union and NATO until it changes its name.
Next we'll have Virginia denying fly-overs to West Virginia and Mexico refusing tourists from New Mexico.
