Macedonia Press Review – January 25, 2013

DNEVNIK
It is hard to print Macedonian newspapers in neighboring countries, the daily writes. The newspaper conveys the experiences of Macedonians involved in producing the small newspapers ‘New Dawn’ in Greece and ‘People’s Will’ in Bulgaria. While in Greece, Macedonians complain they face problems distributing the newspaper that is often disregarded as “propaganda from Skopje”, in Bulgaria they say that the police is still unable to find out who last year seized an entire edition of the newspaper. Both countries officialy do not recognize Macedonian minorities living there.
