UN SECURITY COUNCIL REJECTS MACEDONIA'S APPLICATION
Skopje. The United Nations Security Council yesterday rejected
Macedonia's application for UN membership, according to the
Macedonian Foreign Ministry.
The Security Council has refused to put Macedonia's application
on its agenda because France, a member of that body, had
objected. 
The President of the SC, Japanese ambassador Yoshio Hatano,
explained to Macedonia's Foreign Minister, Denko Maleski, who was
in New York to lobby the world body, that if a permanent member
refused to place an issue on the SC's agenda, the convention was
that the other members of the SC would not vote.
Before meeting Maleski, Hatano consulted with the UN Secretary-
General, Dr Boutros-Ghali. The UN Secretary General told
Ambassador Hatano that Macedonia's application for membership was
a sensitive issue and warned of the danger of its quick
acceptance into the UN: Dr Boutros-Ghali said that Greece would
close its border with the republic and if necessary, threaten the
security of Macedonia and the Balkans.
Maleski told Hatano that Macedonia had spent a year trying to get
recognition from the European Community but that it was
unsuccessful because Greece had objected, and had obstructed the
EC from finding a solution.
Maleski added that it was hypocritical for the France to object
to Macedonia's UN application, when a 1991 EC arbitration
commission headed by the President of the French Constitutional
Court, Robert Badinter, had concluded Macedonia fulfilled all
criteria for recognition.
The Macedonian Foreign Minister warned that peace in the Balkans
would be threatened if his country was not accepted into the UN.
The UN, he said, would lose credibility because it would bring
into question its preventive diplomacy--the despatch of
peacekeepers to Macedonia--by refusing to grant membership to the
republic.
Maleski criticised Greece for not upholding the principles
contained in the UN Charter and for undermining peace and
stability in the Balkans.
Every concession given to Greece by the international community,
he said, would stiffen Athens' resolve to continue with its anti-
Macedonian policy.
The Macedonian Foreign Minister has insisted that his country's
application be placed on the UN Security Council's agenda. 
He has begun another round of consultations with members of the
Security Council. He has also asked to speak to Dr Boutros-Ghali.
Maleski has pledged that if Macedonia is accepted into the UN,
his country would be ready to meet face to face with Greece and
resolve any disputes existing between the two nation.
 
GREEK "EXPERTS" AT UN
Skopje. Greece will use its right under the UN Charter to block 
Macedonia's application for UN membership, if the issue is put
on the Security Council's agenda, according to an official
statement released yesterday in Athens.
The Greek Foreign Minister, Michalis Papaconstantiou, has left
for New York with a group of Greek experts on international law.
"I will place the UN in a position to choose between peace and
instability," he said, referring to the recognition of Macedonia.
In the meantime, Greek government minister, Andreas
Andrianopoulos, has said that "an example didn't exist in the
UN's history where a new nation was refused membership."
 
NEW ZEALAND AGAINST MACEDONIAN MEMBERSHIP
Skopje. Macedonia should not be recognised until Greece agrees,
the New Zealand Foreign Ministry has said.
New Zealand, which is a rotating member of the UN Security
Council, said that it had a long friendship with Greece, and had
supported Athens' arguments in the dispute over Macedonia's name.
And because of this, New Zealand would vote in the Security
Council against Macedonia's membership application.
 
4 BALKAN STATES BEGIN TALKS ON NOT DIVIDING MACEDONIA
Skopje. Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece and Romania will during the next
few days swap opinions on the Greek declaration, which was agreed
to by all four countries in Paris, that the Republic of Macedonia
should not be partitioned.
The Greek Foreign Minister, Michalis Papaconstantiou, will visit
the Sofia, the Bulgarian capital, on January 21-22. Sofia has so
far kept quiet about the contents of the declaration.
 
ALBANIANS REFUSE TO DO NATIONAL SERVICE
Skopje. Ethnic Albanians in the Macedonian town of Tetovo are
refusing to do their national service in the Macedonian Army,
according to Nova Makedonija newspaper, which has quoted the
army's office in Tetovo.
The paper has not provided any further details.
 
TANKER BRINGS NEW OIL FOR MACEDONIA
Skopje. A tanker carrying 65,000 tonnes of oil purchased by
Macedonia is expected to arrive in the northern Greek port of
Salonika at any moment. 
Macedonia's oil refinery at Skopje is working to full capacity,
because a previous delivery of 35,000 tonnes of oil is being
transported from the Mimidakis and Jet Oil depots in Salonica
to the republic.
 
 
SKOPJE AND SALONICA READY TO COOPERATE
Skopje. The Mayor of Skopje, Goran Nikolovski, said he was ready
to accept a proposal from the Mayor of the Greek city of
Salonica, Constantine Kosmopoulos, for closer cooperation between
the two cities. 
Kosmopoulos said the objective was to promote peaceful
coexistence.
 
MACEDONIAN ORGANISATIONS APPEAL TO UN
Skopje. The Association of Macedonian Child Refugees from Aegean
Macedonia (Bitola, Skopje, Toronto and Australian branches) and 
the Sveti Kliment Ohridski Forum have sent an open letter to the
UN Secretary-General, Dr Boutros-Ghali. The letter says that
Greece is waging unprecedented diplomatic terror in order to stop
Macedonia's membership of the world body. And to escape its
responsibility under international law--UN, and the CSCE's
Helsinki and Paris Charters--to respect human rights of its
minorities, in particular the Macedonians. The signatories of the
letter urge the UN to put pressure on Greece to return property
and other assets that where illegally confiscated from ethnic
Macedonians who were forced to leave the Greek state. They also
want Greece to change discriminatory laws which stop ethnic
Macedonian political exiles and refugees from returning to their
native land and from gaining Greek citizenship.
 
RUSSIAN GAS TO ARRIVE IN 1995
Skopje. A ceremony was held in Karadzina cesma near the
Macedonian city of Kumanovo today to mark the beginning of the
construction of a pipe-line that will bring gas from Russia.
Gas-eksport(export), a Moscow company, will oversee the project,
which is expect to be completed in 1995.
 
ELECTRICITY, BREAD AND MILK PRICES GO UP
Skopje. The Macedonian government has from today raised the price
of electricity usage, bread and milk.
Electricity bills will rise by 56%, whilst a kilogram loaf of
bread and a litre of milk will each now cost 56 German pfennings
(according to the black exchange rate).
