a cigar is in fact only a cigar, as Freud once said.

Seriously though, plenty of people *might* have had it in for him. Macedonia has a history of assasinations and near misses when it comes to political figures, and Trajkovski did broker a deal with Albanian extremists which prevented civil war in the country. This, I guess, could have left him open to possible attacks from hardline nationalists and Albanian hardliners alike. On the other hand, the area where the crash happened is notoriously tricky flying terrain.

My suspicion is that this was indeed an accident.
