A way out may soon be found. Macedonia is to be invited to next month's conference on ex-Yugoslavia being arranged by Britian. Kiro Gligorov, the Macedonia president, has asked the EC for financial assistance and for a peacekeeping force to be deployed in Macedonia. The worry is that if conflict erupts in Kosovo, Albanians from Macedonia could join in the fighting. That could provoke a Serbian attack on Macedonia.
Nobody wants the war to spread.
Neither Greece nor Macedonian objects in principle to the twin-name solution. Confusions at the post would be a small price to pay to keep Macedonia peaceful. Australian Macedonian Weekly, 11th August, 1992.
