Governor Tzitzikostas says he does not intend to use the name North Macedonia, because “for me, the country was and will be Skopje.”
“There is no way that a road in our jurisdiction has a signboard reading North Macedonia. Let’s be clear, the signboards on our streets will read Skopje as long as I am governor,” says Tzitzikostas.
Regarding a possible government pressure on this issue, he says “I have shown in the past that such pressure has no effect.”
