Macedonian, Bulgarian media in spat over Brazil's pres.

Is Brazil's new president Dilma Rousseff of Macedonian or Bulgarian origin? No one is sure whether she cares about being anything but Brazilian but the two Balkan countries certainly do. Media and web pages have been accusing each other of misleading the public about whether she is from Macedonia or Bulgaria.
Here is a sample:
The Editorial Team of Novinite.com (Sofia News Agency) protests against its mentioning in an article of Macedonian newspaper Dnevnik which contains untrue information about the origin of Brazil's newly-elected President, Dilma Rousseff. The Dnevnik publication from Wednesday, November 3, 2010, entitled "Maiden from Pirin Region Leads Brazil" cites an article of Novinite.com (Sofia News Agency) in a way that might create the misleading impression that Novinite.com (Sofia News Agency) supports the claims of a Macedonian Facebook group and of the Dnevnik newspaper that Dilma Rousseff has "Macedonian" origin.
