Prime Minister Georgievski has also discussed with his colleagues from Greece, Kosta Simitis, from Bulgaria, Ivan Kostov and from Albania, Ilir Meta. Both Simitis and Kostov gave their maximum support to the sovereignty and integrity of the Republic of Macedonia and offered their technical assistance, and also expressed their readiness for diplomatic initiative. He underlined that the Albanian Prime Minister Ilir Meta, who along with the maximum support to the sovereignty and integrity of our country, has severely condemned the groups and extremists situated in the area of Tanusevci. Once again, Georgievski confirmed the information about today's shootout on the northern border. The Macedonian Army and Police has never started shooting first and that is a policy that we can always present as an argument.
Every day there are provocations that are responded to.
With regards to wounded or killed soldiers, Georgievski said that he did not have any information. The tactics on the other side is never to report on their victims and wounded. Most probably in that way, they feel that they have a psychological advantage which is true. On our side, people have names and surnames. On the other side we have an unidentified mass not only as an organisation, but as individuals, and in that respect, the psychological advantage is on their side.
