Summary/Abstract: In November 2010, Macedonian tax inspectors detained Velija Ramkoski, a business tycoon and owner of the popular AI TV. The down-on-its-luck domestic opposition immediately seized on the case as an example of ‘media freedom’ being violated- a charge that has become politically inflammatory and broadened over the past nine months, becoming a key issue for local and international trends in Macedonian affairs.
