> MACEDONIA WILL NOT ACCEPT REFUGEES ANY MORE
>
> Skopje, 6 October. President Gligorov has informed the delegation
> of UNCHR of the situation concerning the refugees in the
> Republic. He stressed that in spite of the serious difficulties
> Republic of Macedonia has given shelter to almost 100 000
> refugees, most of whom are placed within the families. Up to now
> Republic of Macedonia has not received enough humanitarian aid
> from UNCHR. With the coming winter and because of the blockade
> the situation of the refugees in Macedonia will become more
> difficult. That is why Macedonia will not be able to receive more
> refugees. Gligorov sees the solution in urgent material and
> financial support from UNCHR and the international community, in
> acceptance of the refugees from other countries and their
> repatriation.

> THE OIL TRAVELS TO SERBIA
>
> Skopje, 6 October. More and more serbian and bosnian cisterns

> INTERVIEW OF THE MINISTER TRPEVSKI ON
> MMF AND THE WORLD BANK
>
> Skopje, 6 October.Dr. Ljube Trpevski, the head of macedonian
> delegation on the Annual meeting of MMF and WB says "the
> membership of the Republic of Macedonia in these financial
> institutions is a top priority. Without an international
> financial support it would be very difficult to stabilize the
> economy and secure further economic development". The World Bank
> has frozen financing to all projects in Macedonia but has invited
> the ex-yugoslav republics including Macedonia to attend the
> Meeting as special guests, which means attendance without a right
> to address the members.
> Trpevski has expressed the interest of the Republic of Macedonia
> to become a member and proposed a package of admittance for the
> former Yugoslav republics. He believes that it is nit necessary
> to wait the next annual meeting of MMF and that it would be
> possible to complete the procedure by the middle of November on
> the session of the Committee of governors. Trpevski emphasizes
> that the main problem is the present sanctions imposed on
> Yugoslavia. Concerning Macedonia the situation is even more
> difficult because of the Lisbon Declaration  and the name
> problem. Obviously EC will not support Macedonia until an
> appropriate solution with Greece will be found. Nevertheless the
> sympathies for Macedonia is arising and the recent oil embargo
> has provoked a great amount of bitterness in MMF and WB.
>
> UK HELPS MACEDONIAN UNIVERSITIES
>
> Skopje, 6 October. UK is interested to widen the cooperation with
> Macedonian Universities. At this stage the cooperation will be
> focused on reforms of the Universities and the educational

> cultural heritage in Macedonia.

> of wickedness but of foolish pride".
> Vassilis Manginas the representative of Greek government has

> the truth".
>  According to the corespondent of "Nova Makedonia" in Athens, the

> with antigreek aspirations and the commentator will be of course
> named as "Skopje`s mercenary".
> Almost all greek press had outrages comments: progovernment
> "Elefteros Tipos" blamed "Time" for hidden motives, "Katimerini"
> says that the american weekly is continuing its antigreek
> attitude practised for several months and the author is not
> hiding his friendly attitude to Skopje. Independent
> "Elefterotipia" considers the text as a "provocation" and the
> oppositional newspaper "Ta Nea" says that this is a result of
