"Macedonian state under Samuil"??? No comment...

[ellasAZ]

What language did the Macedonians speak? In what language everything is written? To whom the ancient structures belong? Who build them?

There is no Macedonian stragle, only Psevdo-macedonian PROPAGANDA, and this guy is owned by (HIT MAN SOROS) THIEF of the Hellenic natural resourses! You can all go to hell, miserable LIARS!

[McDonian]

No he's not, his birth certificate listed "Bulgarian"!

Also, he never officially changed his name.

Plus, it was Greece then and now!

[noaudito]

[kostas67reth]

Hell NO!

[pabloczv]

what happen???you dont like what the man is telling the true? so you make another cheap propaganda that he is making money from the books what he is selling :):)

[enaselinas]

Yia sou Risto, shio praish nashio chovek.

I have just read your book "Short History of Macedonia" published by Macedonian Literary Association of Australia Grogor Prilchev.

Very very good that it is in English. Now all Australians including the rest of the world can learn the truth about Macedonia, not Greek lies.

I am retyping the numbers to clarify them:

GDP of Greece US$ 314.4 Billion

GDP of Canada US$ 1266.0 Billion

GDP of FYROM US$ 8.0 Billion

GDP/capita of Greece US$ 28,280

GDP/capita of Canada US$ 38,435

GDP/capita of FYROM US$ 3,720

is easy for Mr Risto Stefou to urge the FYROM government to stop negotiations on the name, living in CANADA on his 38,435 per capita...what about his poverty striken cousins in FYROM, trying to survive on 3,720 USD, and 50% unemploument?

[eismakedon]

PLUS THE MONEY that Risto Stefou profits from his BOOKS, that he makes by exploiting this issue to his personal benefit! I would be agaisnt a deal too...the longer this issue lasts, the better for Risto! Who would want his books to become obsolete...right?
