GLIGOROV CONGRATULATES CLINTON
Skopje. The President of Macedonia, Kiro Gligorov, yesterday sent
a message of congratulations to the newly sworn-in US President,
Bill Clinton. President Gligorov said in the message that Clinton
should recognise Macedonia in order to bring stability and peace
in the Balkans.
 
JENSEN: GREECE HOLDS EC HOSTAGE OVER MACEDONIA
Skopje. The outgoing President of the European Commission of
Ministers, Uffe Elleman-Jensen, yesterday in the European
Parliament in Strasbourg strongly criticised Greece for "holding
the EC hostage over Macedonia."
The Danish Foreign Minister, who leaves office because of a
change of government in Copenhagen, said he was embarrassed by
Greece's behaviour. "The remaining 11 EC members can't tolerate
Greece's obstruction," he said. Jensen warned that if Macedonia
was not recognised it could become a second Bosnia.
Greek members of the European Parliament reacted angrily to
Jensen's comments. One Greek MEP said "Greeks are ashamed of the
EC President."
 
US REPORT: GREECE AND MACEDONIA BREAK HUMAN RIGHTS
Skopje. Greece and Macedonia do not respect the human rights of
minority groups, according to the US State Department's Annual
Report.
The report said that there where in Northern Greece "Greek
citizens who speak a 'Slavic dialect' and they call themselves
Macedonians; they number between 10,000 to 50,000." For the first
time, the US State Department has claimed that "Macedonia was
breaking the human rights of the  Albanian and Serbian
minorities."
 
ANOTHER GREEK JET ENTERS MACEDONIAN AIRSPACE
Skopje. A Greek military mirage jet yesterday illegally flew into
Macedonian airspace. At about 1.43pm it penetrated four
kilometres into Macedonia airspace. The jet was sighted over the
Kozuv mountains and Gevgelija, south-eastern Macedonia. And
returned to base by flying over Lake Dojran. This is the second
time in the new year that a Greek plane has entered Macedonian
airspace.
 
GREECE CLAIMS BRITISH SUPPORT FOR FRENCH PLAN
Skopje. The Greek government yesterday claimed that Britain would
support the Greek-French proposal for an international
arbitration commission over Macedonia's name.
And because of this, Macedonia's UN application would be
deferred. The President of the UN Security Council, Japanese
ambassador, Yoshio Hatano, told Greek television that France
insisted that Macedonia's bid for UN membership be put off for
another three months.
Even though Greek optimism is sky high at the moment over Athens'
blocking of Macedonian recognition, there is a belief that the
republic cannot be denied its place in the world community
indefinitely.
The large circulation Greek daily, Ta Nea, yesterday wrote that
the German Foreign Minister, Klaus Kinkel advised Greece to
accept the name "Vardar Macedonia" for the Republic of Macedonia.
The Greek newspaper said that this proposal was the best out of
all the worse solutions offered.
 
MACEDONIAN ARMY DEBATES NAMES: TITO OR GOCE DELCEV?
Skopje. Representatives from the Macedonian Defence Ministry,
Macedonian Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Institute for
National History and the war veterans association held a meeting
yesterday to find new names for military bases, border posts and
to decide when to hold National Army Day.
The majority at the meeting where of the view that the major army
base in Macedonia should retain its current name "Marshal Tito,"
after the communist ruler of the former Yugoslavia. A
representative from the Macedonian Institute for National History
said he was opposed to the name "Marshal Tito" and that Goce
Delcev was a better title. Goce Delcev is widely regarded as
Macedonia's greatest hero. However, those at the meeting rejected
the Goce Delcev proposal.
It was also decided that Macedonian National Army Day be held on
August 18 in honour of the formation of the Macedonian Partizan
battalion, Mirce Acev, on August 18, 1943.
The new Macedonia military academy will be named after Macedonian
Partizan General, Mihajlo Apostolski.
 
FRENCH EXHIBITION BOYCOTTED
Skopje. A French government exhibition on the history of
libraries in eastern and central Europe was boycotted by the
staff of the Macedonian national and university library, Sveti
Kliment Ohridski, in Skopje. This was in protest to France's
refusal to accept Macedonia as an UN member.
The exhibition was opened by Macedonian literary critic, Atanas
Vangelov, but no one turned up for the ceremony!
 
US-MACEDONIAN APPEAL TO FRENCH UN REP
New Jersey.  The Macedonian Human Rights Movement of New Jersey
and Northeastern United States has sent an appeal to the UN
representative of France urging him or her to support "wider
international recognition and admission into the United Nations."
The letter goes on to say "Macedonia is the only former Yugoslav
republic which chose the path of peaceful resolution to the
crisis there. Macedonia and Slovenia were found to be the most
qualified for international recognition as independent states by
the European Community appointed, Badinter Commission."
With a yes vote, the letter says, France can prevent the war in
former Yugoslavia from spreading into Macedonia.
