Albanian flag on desk of Macedonian Parliamentary Speaker. Will Macedonia survive as a state?
Civil War in the Balkan state of Macedonia is one step closer after a new Parliamentary Speaker took office against the wishes of Macedonian President Gjorge Ivanov and a majority of Macedonians.
Talat Xhaferi from the Albanian party Democratic Union for Integration, has further provoked the tense situation in the former Yugoslav republic by placing a flag of the Republic of Albania on his desk beside the flags of Macedonia and the EU, of which neither Macedonia nor Albania is a member.
