MALESKI BEGINS NEW ROUND OF TALKS WITH UN
Skopje. After Macedonia's failure to get United Nations
membership yesterday, that country's foreign minister, Denko
Maleski, has begun a new round of talks with members of the
Security Council, including the president of the non-aligned
members in that body.
Maleski has so far met with the French, British and Turkish
ambassadors to the UN, and will meet today with the American and
German ambassadors.
 
RUSSIA: RECOGNISE MACEDONIA TO STOP WAR
Skopje. The Russian Foreign Minister, Andrei Kozirev, told Moscow
newspaper, Izvestia, that Macedonia should be recognised in order
to stop the spread of the Bosnian war. He said if armed conflict
broke out in Kosovo, its shock waves would reach Macedonia, where
ethnic Albanians also live. To stop this, he said, Macedonia
should be recognised.
 
CLINTON MACEDONIAN POLICY TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON
Skopje. The American ambassador in Sofia, the Bulgarian capital,
said yesterday that newly-elected US President, Bill Clinton,
would shortly announce his policy towards Macedonia's application
for UN membership.
 
MITSOTAKIS OPTIMISTIC 
Skopje. The Greek Prime Minister, Constantine Mitsotakis, said
he felt optimistic over his country's ability to block
Macedonia's entrance into the UN.
A Greek government spokesman, Vasilis Manginas, said yesterday
that Greece's tough stand on Macedonia's change of name could
soften. "If the French proposal for an international arbitration
commission is accepted, Skopje (Greek euphemism for Macedonia)
could gain the right to retain the term Macedonia in its name,"
he said.
He added that if that occurred, direct contacts between Athens
and Skopje would not be cut off.
 
PAPACONSTANTINOU CALLS OFF BULGARIAN VISIT
Skopje. The Greek Foreign Minister, Michalis Papaconstantinou,
has called off a planned meeting in Sofia over a four Balkan
country declaration on not dividing Macedonia, according to the
Bulgarian government press centre.
Papaconstantinou, who was to have discussed the Greek-Turkish-
Bulgarian-Romanian declaration, is still at the UN headquarters
in New York City.
 
 
MAZOWIECKI'S REPORT: RECOGNISE MACEDONIA
Skopje. The UN's special rapporteur on human rights in the former
Yugoslavia, Tadeusz Mazowiecki, has recommended in his report to 
the world body that Macedonia be recognised. He told a press
conference in Warsaw, the Polish capital, that a recognised
Macedonia was a major factor in safeguarding peace in the Balkan
region.
 
MACEDONIAN GREENIES WANT CLEAN AIR FOR SKOPJE
Skopje. The Macedonian environmentalist group, Opstanok
(Survival), has urged the Skopje city council to do something
about increased smog and pollution affecting the city.
The amount of pollution in the air is six times more than is
allowable under existing regulations.
So far the city council has banned traffic in some Skopje
streets, and has asked residents to remain indoors and not to
open windows.
Opstanok also want a decrease in industrial emissions.
 
OHRID AIRPORT OPEN AT NIGHT
Skopje. Ohrid airport will have night flights as of tonight
because Skopje airport, Macedonia's largest, has been closed due
to fog.
 
NEW PRICE INCREASES
Skopje. Electricity, flour, bread and milk prices were raised by
the Macedonian government yesterday. However, the electricity
commission, bakers and milkmen want prices to go up higher.
The electricity commission wanted a 100% rise in the power bill,
whilst the government has only permitted a 56% increase.
A family of four, which consumes on average 60 loaves of bread
and 30 litres of milk, would need a whole monthly wage to cover
these essential items. 
 
HEALTH WORKERS STRIKE CONTINUES
Skopje. Health care workers have continued their strike in
Macedonia. Only patients needing urgent care will receive
treatment. Doctors and pharmacists want an increase in pay.
 
MACEDONIAN ARCHBISHOP URGES GREECE TO MAKE PEACE, NOT WAR
Skopje. The head of the Macedonian Orthodox Church, His Holiness
the Archbishop of Ohrid and Macedonia, Gavril (Gabriel), has on
the day of Epiphany (Vodici) sent a message to the Greek people,
urging them to end hatred and to work for love and peace. 
Throughout Macedonia yesterday the Orthodox Christian festival,
Epiphany (Vodici), was celebrated. Worshippers braved the
freezing cold waters of the Vardar river to retrieve a cross that
was tossed in by a priest.
Epiphany commemorates the revealing of Jesus Christ to the
Gentiles, and is usually held on January 6. But because the
Macedonian Orthodox Church follows the old Roman Julian calendar,
it is 13 days behind the Catholics and Protestants who have
adopted the modern Gregorian calendar. 
 
MACEDONIAN PHOTO EXHIBITION IN PARIS
Paris. The Macedonian Information Centre in Paris and the French
gallery, Galerie du Fleuve, have reached a preliminary agreement
to hold an exhibition of Macedonian contemporary photography. The
exhibition is expected to be held in December of this year. For
more information, please telephone: 48-07-25-97 or 43-26-08-96.
 
MACEDONIAN RALLY IN SWITZERLAND
Murten. The Union of Macedonian Associations in Switzerland will
hold a peaceful rally on March 13, at 2.00pm outside the Swiss
Federal Parliament in Berne in favour of recognition of the
Republic of Macedonia. Official representatives from the
Macedonian government, Orthodox Church, the leader of the
Macedonian opposition party, VMRO-DPMNE, the leader of the other
opposition party, MAAK, and Macedonians from Australia, Canada,
Germany, France, Sweden and other European countries have been
invited to attend the manifestation.
UMAS has urged all Macedonians to attend the Berne rally.
 
UNITED MACEDONIANS HOLD GERMAN CONGRESS
Heidelberg. The Association of United Macedonians will hold its
first congress on February 6 and 7 in Stupferich, Bergleshalle,
Germany. Elections will be held for positions in United
Macedonians' committee. After the congress, a social function,
featuring well known Macedonian singers and musicians, will be
held.
 
MACEDONIA TO BE DISCUSSED IN ENGLAND
London. The Students Union Of Manchester will hold a "Macedonia
awareness day" on January 22 in the northern English city.
Academics, students and journalists will get together to talk
about issues relating to Macedonia.
