The move was not exactly welcomed from the people of the two countries, especially in Greece. In fact, at the same time, police were clashing with Greek protesters who were trying to reach the meeting and prevent the ceremony.

But behind the smoke of this so called 'historic agreement', another story was running down in the court rooms of Athens, quietly, secretly, and with almost no publicity. A story that involves spies, intelligence agencies, huge corruption, blackmailing, with implications that question even the legitimacy of the Macedonian government and also explain why Greece changed its initial judgement about the case and silenced the story.
