Since Sejdiu's refusal to visit Macedonia last week the bilateral relations between Pristina and Skopje have deteriorated, the paper says, adding that analyst Janusz Bugajski from the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington and the Macedonian pro-government daily Vecer announce the possibility that Macedonia will withdraw its  recognition of Kosovo independence.

The Kosovo weekly Zeri even reports that the new events in the relations between Pristina and Skopje indicate to the restoration of the influence of Belgrade and the policy of Serbian President Boris Tadic on Macedonian officials.
