A group of some 20 people, some of them reportedly wearing masks, (?) stormed a press conference late on Tuesday in Athens during which the Rainbow party of Slavomacedonians in Greece was promoting a new Greek-Slavomacedonian dictionary, according to local media reports.
Local Kanal 5 TV aired footage of the incident presumably shot by the organizers of the event showing men wearing black T-shirts, reportedly with signs of the Greek ultra nationalist organization Golden Dawn, storming the... International Press Center in Athens where the conference took place.
They group began destroying the promo material and damaging some of the cameras, verbally attacking the promoters and guests, including renowned US Slavist and linguist Victor Friedman, Kanal 5 said. The group fled the conference after hearing that police were on their way, and the conference resumed without further incident.
So far there have been no reported official reactions from either Greece or FYROM.
