Speaking in Tetovo on Sunday, Macedonian Prime Minister Ljupco Georgievski ruled out any dialogue with ethnic Albanian terrorists, with whom Macedonian forces have been fighting in this town for 12 days. Political dialogue, and only with legitimate representatives of ethnic Albanians of Macedonia, can begin only after the terrorists are broken up and defeated, Georgievski said, adding that he hoped this would be soon.
Heavy fighting is under way around the town.
There is reason to believe that they are terrorists infiltrated with the task of carrying out subversive activities against members of the army and police. President Imer Imeri of the opposition ethnic Albanian Party of Democratic Prosperity today sent a message to Macedonian President and Supreme Commander Boris Trajkovski, urging him to order an end to the army offensive on the extremists' positions around Tetovo. Imeri pointed out that civilians were suffering and that ethnic Albanian property around Tetovo was needlessly being destroyed, in areas exposed to artillery fire. Imeri at the same time called on ethnic Albanian extremists to lay down their arms, and on the international community to mediate in a political dialogue. Colonel Blagoje Markovski told reporters that the locality of Kale, a major terrorist stronghold in the vicinity of the troubled western town, was surrounded.
