The Macedonian government and international representatives in the
country dismissed any possibility of future war conflicts. US
Ambassador Lawrence Butler said he had knowledge about several
extremist groups in Macedonia but they did not enjoy the support of
the Albanian community, while NATO Ambassador Nicolas Bigman
believes that the Albanian National Army is an isolated group which
had neither the plan nor the money to carry out its threats.
