SKOPJE (Reuters) - Macedonia's main opposition leader was found guilty of slander on Wednesday for insulting Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski in a high-profile court case that may deepen political divisions in the small Balkan country.

Zoran Zaev, leader of the biggest opposition party, the SDSM, was sued by Gruevski after he accused the prime minister of taking a bribe in the 2004 sale of a local bank to a Serbian businessman.
