"They don't know if they are Macedonians created by a Tito decree, if they are predecessors of the Bulgarian Samiil, or if they are predecessors of Alexander the Great, whose origin is Illyrian," Krasniqi said, in his condemnation of an encyclopedia published by the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts, MASA, which refers to Albanians as "usurpers of Macedonian land".
The Prime Minister of Albania Sali Berisha, who has recently urged the unification of ethnic Albanians in the Balkans, also blasted the encyclopedia.
