Greek Media Report on Elections in Macedonia

Greek media write about the developments with the early elections in Macedonia each day, MIA reports.

"New political dead-­end in FYROM. FYROM holds early elections under threat of boycott from the Social -Democrats. Elections on 5 June in climate of mistrust", are some of the headlines in the Greek media, which use the word FYROM instead of Macedonia's name.

Greek media report that opposition leader Zoran Zaev claims there is no room for holding the early elections in a free and democratic atmosphere. Greek media carry Zaev's charges that Macedonia is under an "authoritarian regime" and that therefore the opposition will not take part in the vote.
