Macedonia's Deputy Minister for Agriculture, Perica Ivanovski, told Balkan Insight that a Greek blockade of wine sales in the EU "could results in millions of euros in damages for our wine producers".Ivanovski said Greek diplomats in Slovenia and Germany, two key EU markets, recently launched a campaign to stop imports of wine that either named Macedonia as the country of origin, or had a label derived from the word "Macedonia"."Brands named 'Macedonian Red' or 'Macedonian White' that have been present in Slovenia and Germany for over 40 years are under threat," Ivanovski said.
