Macedonia ready to give up claims on Alexander the Great
Macedonia’s left-wing prime minister has said he is ready to renounce his country’s claim to the legacy of Alexander the Great to help solve a 26-year-old dispute with neighbouring Greece over the country’s name.
Zoran Zaev, who has been in power since the spring, said: "I give up (the claim) of Macedonia being the sole heir to Alexander. The history belongs not only to us, but also to Greece and many other countries."
