Greeks against the name of Macedonia at the European Championships in wrestling
The Greek delegation appealed to the competent authorities of the European Federation in wrestling because our country is represented as Macedonia at the European Championships that began yesterday in Finland.
As informs MIA reporter from Athens, the Greek delegation leader and board member of the Greek Wrestling Federation Panagiotis Vekris appealed to the organizers of the championship, “Because they used the name Macedonia, instead FYROM, as the country is registered in the UN.” Still there is no response from the organizer nor has any announcement on the website of the championship, if the complaint of the Greek delegation is accepted.
Neither the Greek media are reporting some outcome of the appeal. Macedonia at the European Championship in Wrestling is represented by Boban Danov, Yasin Redzhelari and Goran Atanasov.
