First his involvement was with the project &#8220;Skopje 2014&#8221; by buying land on the square Macedonia baroque for building a baroque hotel and \u201cofficer\u2019s home\u201d, a project for which the firm Kontominas &#8220;DEMKO&#8221; was the only bidder and got an area of 6308 square meters for about 630,000 euros.Kontominas then tried, unsuccessfully, to involve in the energy business by participating in tenders for the construction of hydroelectric plants in Macedonia. <\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">\n<p><!--

lang=\"MK\">there are many unanswered questions.\u00a0Some media describe <\/span>him <span lang=\"MK\">a<\/span>s a<span lang=\"MK\"> businessman<\/span> that the church would not declare as<span lang=\"MK\"> a saint because of his activities.\u00a0<\/span>The <span lang=\"MK\">Greek billionaire <\/span>is not<span lang=\"MK\"> unknown to the Macedonian public.\u00a0<\/span>He is the f<span lang=\"MK\">ather of the Greek insurance company &#8220;Interameri<\/span>c<span lang=\"MK\">an&#8221;<\/span>, and <span lang=\"MK\">in Macedonia <\/span>he is famous<span lang=\"MK\"> as the owner of the company &#8220;Kosmotelko&#8221; which <\/span>took part<span lang=\"MK\"> of the shares in the &#8220;Macedonian Telecom&#8221; and received national license for WiMax, broadband.\u00a0According to the company profile published in &#8220;Kathimerini&#8221;, &#8220;Kosmotelko&#8221; had a 7.4 percent share<\/span>s<span lang=\"MK\"> in the &#8220;Stonebridge Communications AD&#8221;, a company controlled 51 percent of the &#8220;Macedonian Telecommunications&#8221;.\u00a0Kontominas had<\/span> a<span lang=\"MK\"> land<\/span>, <span lang=\"MK\">about 22,000 square meters<\/span> near the<span lang=\"MK\"> hotel &#8220;Aleksandar Palace&#8221;, where he had plans to build a large shopping and business center, <\/span>but this was an<span lang=\"MK\"> idea <\/span>that<span lang=\"MK\"> failed because the land through restitution was returned to owners.\u00a0<\/span>The <span lang=\"MK\">Greek businessman remained<\/span> in<span lang=\"MK\"> tenuous situation for several years<\/span>, because he was waiting the refund of the <span lang=\"MK\">money that <\/span>he <span lang=\"MK\">paid for the land.\u00a0As <\/span>many media were writing back in<span lang=\"MK\"> 2006, Kontominas <\/span>was <span lang=\"MK\">planning <\/span>\u00a0to <span lang=\"MK\">open<\/span> a<span lang=\"MK\"> bank and insurance company in Macedonia.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0The other reasons why Kontominas is associated<span lang=\"MK\"> with Macedonia are <\/span>the <span lang=\"MK\">projects in the telecommunications and media secto<\/span>r, which he did not finished<span lang=\"MK\">.\u00a0<\/span>This was the reason why the Greek journalists <span lang=\"MK\">were intrigued by his interest to participate in a project in the energy field, an area in which Kontominas <\/span>has <span lang=\"MK\">no experience<\/span>, as well as a<span lang=\"MK\"> construction and project plan<\/span> for<span lang=\"MK\"> &#8220;Skopje 2014&#8221;, <\/span>which <span lang=\"MK\">the Greek government has sharply criticized as part ofirredentist policy of Macedonia.\u00a0After the announcement of the tender<\/span> for hydroelectric<span lang=\"MK\"> plants, some of the Greek media <\/span>had a <span lang=\"MK\">dilemma whether this investment has a similar political background of<\/span> a<span lang=\"MK\"> Greek investment boom in Macedoni<\/span>, like it was <span lang=\"MK\">few years<\/span> ago<span lang=\"MK\">.<\/span> The<span lang=\"MK\">\u00a0Portal &#8220;Protagon.gr&#8221;<\/span>, <span lang=\"MK\">citing sources from the Greek Foreign Ministry<\/span>,<span lang=\"MK\"> announced that<\/span> the<span lang=\"MK\"> former Prime Minister George Papandreou <\/span>received a <span lang=\"MK\">bid through which <\/span>it was <span lang=\"MK\">suggest<\/span>ed<span lang=\"MK\"> that <\/span>the <span lang=\"MK\">Greek investments in Macedonia will <\/span>affect<span lang=\"MK\"> for a faster resolution of <\/span>the name <span lang=\"MK\">dispute because those\u00a0that <\/span>are making <span lang=\"MK\">the decision on these investments require financial support.\u00a0<\/span>According to t<span lang=\"MK\">he portal, several people involved in <\/span>the <span lang=\"MK\">Greek investments in Macedonia managed to persuade former Greek Prime Minister Costas Simitis that such investment<\/span> and<span lang=\"MK\"> activities will help to change the position on the Macedonian name dispute.\u00a0&#8220;Not that at some point <\/span>we came<span lang=\"MK\"> to a<\/span> point for a<span lang=\"MK\"> compromise on the name, but the cooperation of the &#8216;Deutsche Telekom&#8217; with a Greek businessman was part of the investigation in Bonn<\/span> for<span lang=\"MK\"> unconventional payments to politicians in Skopje, which ended without anything to prove,&#8221; wrote Protagon.gr.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The <span lang=\"MK\">Relationship <\/span>between <span lang=\"MK\">Kontominas <\/span>and the <span lang=\"MK\">Greek political parties <\/span>is a<span lang=\"MK\"> great enigma too.\u00a0In some media texts notes <\/span>it is sad that in the<span lang=\"MK\"> recent years he has collaborated with New Democracy, although originally <\/span>he <span lang=\"MK\">had strong ties with the socialist PA<\/span>SOK<span lang=\"MK\">.\u00a0However, <\/span>his<span lang=\"MK\"> association with New Democracy falls into water<\/span>, because<span lang=\"MK\"> his television &#8220;Alpha&#8221; deals extensively with the scandal with church land &#8220;Vatopedi&#8221; which was one of the stronger shocks that shake the government of Costas Karamanlis.\u00a0<\/span>He had a rule<span lang=\"MK\"> that <\/span>he does not want to interfere<span lang=\"MK\"> with any particular political option,<\/span> <span lang=\"MK\">\u00a0<\/span>he <span lang=\"MK\">is beyond<\/span> the<span lang=\"MK\"> political parties and keep<\/span>s \u00a0his own<span lang=\"MK\"> business interests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Currently he is again highlighted in Greece for the redemption of the <span lang=\"MK\">\u00a0television &#8220;Alpha&#8221;.Although <\/span>the <span lang=\"MK\">television <\/span>was for <span lang=\"MK\">many years in his hands, <\/span>in<span lang=\"MK\"> 2008 <\/span>the <span lang=\"MK\">German &#8220;RTL&#8221; b<\/span>ought<span lang=\"MK\"> 70 percent stake in <\/span>this <span lang=\"MK\">TV.\u00a0His name is connected again with &#8220;Deutsche Telekom&#8221; during the negotiations <\/span>\u00a0with <span lang=\"MK\">&#8220;RTL&#8221; <\/span>adding <span lang=\"MK\">comments that<\/span> the<span lang=\"MK\"> German television had very close ties with the German telecommunications giant.\u00a0Apparently due to large losses, &#8220;RTL&#8221; again recently sold 70 percent stake <\/span>to <span lang=\"MK\">Kontominas and he is again<\/span> a<span lang=\"MK\"> full owner of the television.\u00a0Apart from &#8220;Alpha&#8221; Kontominas has <\/span>the <span lang=\"MK\">TV &#8220;Channel 9&#8221; and several radio
