Skopje - , July 8 (Reuters) - Macedonia this week lifted a ban on Bulgarian books in the latest chapter of a bizarre language dispute with its Balkan neighbour, but the move triggered provoked a political storm of opposition protest.
The country's main opposition party, the formerly communist Social Democratic Alliance (SDA), pressed on Thursday yesterday for a censure motion in parliament against the Culture Minister, Mr Dimitar Dimitrov, calling the decision tantamount to treason.
"The book ban should not have been lifted," an SDA spokesman, Mr Vlado Buckovski, said. told Reuters. "The Bulgarisation of our culture is the biggest issue for Macedonia and we want parliament to debate it."
