The interior minister of Macedonia has promised to return the car she is driving to David Beckham, if it is proven to have been stolen from him.

The car was impounded by the Macedonian police after being shipped from Greece.

Beckham's car disappeared last year in Madrid. Macedonian press reports linked it to the minister, although Beckham's had a different colour.

She told B92 radio in Belgrade that she was a fan of Beckham and would like to meet him if it turned out that the car belonged to him.
