Major protests in downtown Skopje against the Macedonia new name agreement have been organised last night, broadcasting Macedonian media.

The protest is organized via social networking. The stove has been secured by major police forces. Protest participants have fired cocktail cocktail buildings in the Molotov parliament, but it was not burned.

As the portal Plusinfo broadcast, during the protest a Molotov cocktail was fired into the police, but luckily it did not fire. Many bottles were also fired, and bombs were heard as well.

Demonstrators fired other items towards the police, and had shouted “Macedonia, Macedonia”, and even offensive orders against the government and Zoran Zaev have been shouted.

The chairman of the All Macedonian Council ♫ Makedonium, Strasho Olumchev, has said the protests are “spontaneous cuts” of the revolt due to Macedonia's agreement with Greece. He has stressed that the right to decision on national affairs is fair only to the Macedonian people and no one else.

Macedonia's president, Georgi Ivanov, has announced today that his final decision is not to support or sign the agreement on the new name of the former Yugoslav republic, whose prime ministers of Greece and Macedonia -- Alexis Tsipras and Zoran Zaev -- because he considers the agreement harmful to the state and its citizens”. Ivanov in his opinion address has ordered that this is the worst “agreement in history”.

“The people decide for Macedonia's future, not President Ivanov”, have unveiled last night the government in Skopje after Ivanov's decision not to support the agreement with Greece on the name of the former Yugoslav republic, which will be called Republic of Northern Macedonia”.

On the other hand, Greek opponents of Macedonia's new name have warned protests in downtown Athens on Friday.
