Macedonian President Gjorge Ivanov has sent a letter to EU member-states, NATO's secretary-general, and the country's "strategic partners - the US and Turkey."

"Macedonia is a textbook example of how (the EU) should not treat candidate countries," Macedonian President Gjorge Ivanov has been quoted as saying.

He asked the EU Council, whose president Donald Tusk was visiting Skopje over the weekend, "to consider (EU) enlargement not only as a technical issue."
