The Macedonian official flag, as well as the Kutlesh flag, are banned at the Australian Open, the groups of Macedonians in Australia informed on Monday. So, the Macedonian Australian Pride announced that the organizers of the Grand Slam instructed the Channel 9 TV, which carries out the broadcasts, not to show several flags.
Some of those flags are the Macedonian, the Greek Vergina, Palestinian, Belarusian, Russian and Taiwan.
This is a really scandalous decision of the organizers if it is known that Macedonian national Lina Gjorchevska also performed in the qualifiers. If she had entered the first round, the Macedonian fans would not have been allowed to wave their national flag.
