- BULGARIA SUPPORTS MACEDONIAN-UN PLAN
- Skopje. The Bulgarian Foreign Minister, Stojan Ganev, has come
- out in favour of Macedonian President Kiro Gligorov's plea for
- United Nations Peace-keeping troops to be stationed in the newly
- independent republic.
- Ganev, who is President of the UN's General Assembly, said his
- government supported Gligorov's initiative for stability in the
- Balkans region. Ganev also said Bulgaria would support all
- initiatives for stability in the Balkans.
- The Foreign Minister said Bulgaria would not infringe upon
- Macedonia's sovereignty and would act as stabilising factor in
- these turbulent times.
- Italian newspaper, "Corriere Dela Sera," has voiced its strong
- approval of Gligorov's call for UN troops in Macedonia. The paper
- declared that the tension existing within Kosovo could easily
- lead to war in Macedonia, and then engulf the whole Balkan
- peninsula.
-
- ETHNIC ALBANIANS PREPARE FOR WAR IN MACEDONIA
- Skopje. Ethnic Albanians in Macedonia are preparing to go to war,
- according to a report in the Italian newspaper, "Messagiero."
- The Skopje correspondent for the Rome daily has discovered that
- Albania, Greece, Serbia and Bulgaria are ready to invade
- Macedonia.
- Messagiero reported that the Yugoslav cyclone had sucked in
- Macedonia. According to the paper, the UN sanctions against
- Serbia and Montenegro--which make up the rump Yugoslavia--have
- also affected Macedonia, a country not supposed to be hit by the
- embargo.
-
- GREEK MEDIA'S DIRTY TRICKS CAMPAIGN
- Skopje. The Greek media has launched a dirty tricks campaign
- aimed at discrediting Macedonia. Greek television station,
- "Mega," announced it had a "secret document" that claimed that
- Macedonia was seen as "Europe's drug capital for the manufacture
- of drugs" and that "those drugs were sold to the Italian Mafia."
- Mega also claimed that with the profits from the drug trade,
- Macedonia bought Russian weapons through Bulgaria. The Macedonian
- Army, according to Mega, grew opium and heroin in its restricted
- military zone, "Krivolak," and then the crop was processed in a
- "secret factory" near Skopje. The chemicals for manufacturing
- drugs, according to the Greek TV station, were supplied by
- Israel.
-
- GREEK PAPER CLAIMS GLIGOROV UNDERMINES DIALOGUE
- Skopje. Macedonian President Kiro Gligorov's regime had
- undermined dialogue with Greece over the issue of stability in
- the Balkan region, according to reports in the pro-Greek
- government newspaper, "Elefteros Tipos."
- The paper claimed that Gligorov had changed Macedonia as a
- nation-state for the Macedonians to a nation-state for
- Macedonians and Albanians, and with this opened the way for the
- creation of a "Greater Albania."
-
- EC RIGHT WING PARTIES TURN BLIND EYE
- Skopje. After criticising "Serbian communist aggression towards
- the independent state Bosnia-Hercegovina," and calling for
- stronger sanctions against Belgrade, EC right wing parties,
- including Greece's "New Democracy," have failed to react to
- Serbia's latest breaking of the UN imposed trade embargo.
- The right wing parties held a conference recently in Athens and
- failed to respond to Serbian trucks who filled up with petrol
- from Greek oil tankers at the Bulgarian town of Petric, which is
- near the Greek border. According to reports from Reuters news
- agency, Bulgarian customs officials and EC observers have been
- powerless to stop the flow of oil to Serbia and Montenegro--the
- rump Yugoslavia.
-
- ALBANIA SUPPORTS MACEDONIA
- Skopje. The Albanian President, Sali Berisha, told the President
- of the Interparliamentary assembly of the Council of Europe,
- Miguel Martines, that his country had always supported Macedonia
- and would continue to do so.
- He said Macedonia should only be recognised if it enshrines in
- its constitution that it is a nation-state of free citizens.
- President Berisha said that Albanian deaths from last week's riot
- in Skopje, the Macedonian capital, were caused by Serbia.
-
- "MACEDONIA NEVER A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY"
- Skopje. The leader of the ethnic Albanian PDP party, Nevzat
- Halili, in an interview for Albanian television about the riot
- in Skopje, said the incident was set up by Macedonia to get
- international recognition. "Macedonia does not deserve to be
- recognised," he said, "and it has never been a democratic
- country." He added, "the riot on November 6 was a continuation
- of an anti-Albanian policy, which was cooked up in Belgrade
- kitchens."
-
- ITALIAN CONSULATE IN SKOPJE.
- Skopje. "Italy, along with France, will soon open a consulate in
- Skopje," an official from the Italian Foreign Ministry said.
-
- PASSENGERS TRAPPED IN SOFIA
- Skopje. About 400 people travelling on the privately owned
- Bulgarian airline company, Jes Air, have been left stranded in
- Sofia, the Bulgarian capital.
- Most of the passengers were Macedonians from Australia and have
- been forced to wait 10 days for a flight to either Melbourne or
- Sydney.
- Three flights to Australia and one to New York City have been
- cancelled because a Jes Air plane had been seized at Manchester
- Airport, England, for refusing to pay airport tax. It seems
- unlikely that the tax will be paid or that the stranded
- passengers will be able to leave Sofia. Latest reports indicate
- that some of these passengers should be able to board flights for
- Melbourne and Sydney.
-
- MACEDONIAN ASSOCIATION FORMED IN HOLLAND
- Amsterdam. On November 14, a Macedonian association was formed
- in Holland. The association elected a committee of management.
-
-
- PALAIR MACEDONIAN LANDS AT BRUSSELS AIRPORT
- Skopje. Today, for the first time, a Palair Macedonian passenger
- plane landed at Zaventem airport, Brussels, Belgium. This is the
- start of the Skopje-Brussels-Skopje flight route. Brussels will
- be an excellent transfer point for travellers from the US, Canada
- and Europe who want to fly to Macedonia.
