ATHENS: A threatening letter containing a bullet has been sent to the Greek foreign minister, who is engaged in talks with Macedonia on a long-running name dispute, police said.
Nikos Kotzias has received other threatening letters and calls in recent months.
“The new envelope contained a bullet and a letter with references to his efforts on the Macedonian issue,” a police official told Reuters on Saturday. A letter addressed to Kotzias in February said there were “three bullets” for him. Greece, which has its own region called Macedonia, has objected to its neighbour´s name since it broke away from Yugoslavia in 1991. Kotzias is expected to travel to Skopje in the coming days to continue discussions on the issue.
