Late last night, Ohrid was flooded with leaflets against the “All-Albanian platform”

-

Last night, Ohrid was flooded with propaganda fuelled leaflets, four pages long, with the message “You don’t agree? Do something!”. The leaflets were put into mail boxes in buildings, homes, cars…

On the first page, the front page of the leaflet, it reads, “All-Albanian platform, Tirana, 07.01.2017”.

In the inner two pages, there are written points taken from the platform, with a large photo of Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, and behind him, there is a map of Greater Albania. There are two more photos in the leaflet, one of Rama and Ali Ahmeti and the second is a photo of the four leaders of the Albanian parties in Macedonia with Prime Minister Edi Rama and the Albanian Foreign Minister, Fatmir Bushati.

On the last page, there is a portrait of Zoran Zaev, and behind him, another map of Greater Albania and Albania’s double headed eagle. It says “We are not running away from the platform, we have positive aspects towards it” – Zoran Zaev”.
