The crisis in Greece broke out several years ago. In the beginning, our companies lost several deals with Greek companies for sales, trade and export, but step by step our companies have quickly found a compensation by striking deals with companies from other countries," Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski told CNN when asked about the impact of Greece's debt crisis over Macedonia's economy.

"Now, we have stabilized these problems. Greece's debt crisis is a bigger problem for us in terms of the European recession, not so much in terms of neighboring economy," Gruevski noted.
