Macedonia’s military orchestra was supposed to play the Macedonian and Greek anthem during the welcoming ceremony of Alexis Tsipras outside the government’s building, but that did not happen.

According to the government, the orchestra was prepared for Tuesday’s historic event, but following the information that the plane of the Greek Prime Minister would be late, the performance was canceled and the whole ceremony, such as military honors, flowers, etc., was shortened.
