The Macedonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs handed a note of protest to Greek Ambassador to Macedonia Alexandra Papadopoulou because of the increasingly more frequent incidents of molesting Macedonian transporters in Greece. The note says that not only do such vandal acts check the free flow of goods and people, which is one of the EU's fundamental principles, but they also directly jeopardize the safety of Macedonian citizens. This does not contribute to building good neighbor relations and trust, the note says. The Republic of Macedonia expects the Greek authorities to prevent such violence on Greek roads.
