\medskip

\noindent Dear Sir/Madam,
\medskip

In a recent issue of TIME, Strobe Talbott embarks on a new
offensive and speculative approach to the problems of the
Balkans. It is particularly irritating that he is hiding
vital information so that his points will be more
persuasive. Specifically, he fails to report that the
``constitution'' of the Skopjan Republic (article 74)
states that the change of the borders of this republic
is possible after a 2/3 majority of supporting votes is
recorded.
\medskip

He also fails to state that there does not exist any such
thing as a ``Macedonian'' nationality. The people living in the
republic of Skopje are of various national origins (Slavs,
Albanians, Greek, Turkish, Bulgarians, exc.). Furthermore,
he fails to realise that the recognition of Bosnia-Herzegovina
without any provision for the various ethnic groups living there
was the main reason that the whole world is witnessing their
plight.
\medskip

As far as the Greek ``embargo'' is concerned, he fails to report
that this is in line with an EC directive and that it is fully
legitimate.
\medskip

Following that, he is highly speculative about Turkey demanding
a role in any possible military development in the Balkans,
thus promoting destabilising scenarios.
\medskip

Last but not least, I take it to a great offense that he ironically
accuses the Greek people of being short-sighted and hysteric on the
issue of the republic of Skopje. He may think that Greeks are
unjustifiably proud of their history, but he is naive to believe
that history may be rewritten by misinformed (and misinforming)
journalists. I cannot accept that Strobe Talbott's motive was to
report the truth and I think that this is very unfortunate both
for him and the TIME magazine.
\medskip

Finally, I will appreciate it, if you cancel my subscription. Time magazine
is no longer an objective window of information for me.
\medskip

\noindent Thank you for your attention.
