	My dear Rika,
	you are a very naive person if you think that a FRIENDLY and
	MULTI-ETHNIC state of VARDARIA or whatever you want to call it
	CAN survive.
	It is only a matter of time, a short time before this so-called
	country explodes from within. There are many reasons for that, the
	most abvious one is separatist feelings of Albanians.
	Do you really want such an unstable contraption to the north of
	your country?

	I do support the Greek claim to the Macedonian heritage, but
	don't be silly in about the guarantees!

	Yes my friend, they did make a mistake with primature reco-
	gnition of Croatia, B-H and now they might make a same 
	mistake with "Macedonia"

	You see Rika, we are not politians (the demagogs), we can
	say what we think whithout worrying of political consencvencies.
	We can speek our mind and hope that other people will see the 
	reasons for our thoughts. I also can understand your demagoguery,
	but to much of it is a bit overdoing it.

Regards, DDC.
