Italy wants the issue resolved one and for all.

WORSENING ETHNIC RELATIONS IN TETOVO
Skopje. Members of all Macedonian political parties--who recently
walked out of Tetovo City Council's chamber in protest against
the behaviour of that city's mayor--and the Macedonian People's
Movement have decided to form a coordinating body that will
monitor the worsening inter-ethnic relations in this
municipality.
The performance to date of Tetovo Mayor, Ljubisa Dimitrievski,
was criticised at last night's meeting of the breakaway
councillors. Mayor Dimitrievski has only the support of Albanians
in the council. The Macedonian Ministers of Education, for the
Interior, Defence and Finance, were also criticised for only
having contact with the ethnic Albanian parties in the region,
PDP and NDP, and for ignoring the Macedonian parties.

FIRST MACEDONIAN-BULGARIAN BANK!
Skopje. The first joint Macedonian-Bulgarian bank, Balkanska
Banka - A.D. Skopje, will open for business next month.
The Bulgarian partners are Balkan Bank and First Financial,
whilst the Macedonia partner is United Consultants. The bank will
start with one million Deutschmarks (approx. one million
Australian dollars) in capital, of which the Bulgarian side has
put in two thirds of the money. The Central Bank of Bulgaria has
approved the venture, whilst the People's Bank of Macedonia has
yet to give the project the green light.

ALL-MACEDONIAN AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS
Skopje. The first all-Macedonian Australian national congress
will take place between May 8 and 9 in Perth.
The congress, which is being organised by the Macedonian
Information Centre in Perth and the Macedonian Coordinating
Council, will discuss ways in which to establish a common front
over recognition for Macedonia, and to counteract the powerful
greek propaganda.
The congress coincides with the 100 anniversary of the foundation
of TMORO, the 90th anniversary of the Ilinden Uprising and the
death of Goce Delcev.
Other issues to be discusses will include the activities of the
Macedonian Orthodox Church, assistance to ethnic Macedonians in
the Pirin and Aegean regions of the Macedonian homeland, the
Macedonian media and the informing of the Macedonian community
in Australia.

TWO CANADIAN-MACEDONIANS CANDIDATES FOR PARLIAMENTS
Skopje. Two Canadians of Macedonian ancestry have become
candidates for the Canadian Parliament in the upcoming general
election.
They are: Tom Dimov, member of the Federal Liberal Party, and
Steve Plakas, of New Democracy Party of Canada.  If they are
elected, they will represent the constituencies of Scarborough
and Markam respectively. There are large Macedonian communities
in these two electorates. Steve Plakas said that if elected,
"Macedonia would gain a strong voice in the Canadian Parliament."
