SKOPJE, June 12 (Hina) - Macedonia's government on Tuesday adopted
a plan for the settlement of the crisis and President Boris
Trajkovski is going to present it to the European Parliament in
Strasbourg on Wednesday.
Expounding the document at a press briefing, President Trajkovski
said it comprised five stages.
The first one, which is under way, is a diplomatic and political
action and includes the set-up of joint military and police forces
under one command.
The second stage envisages the military and political isolation of
terrorists and the creation of conditions for a cease-fire.
The third stage is the unilateral declaration of the cease-fire and
implementation of confidence building measures such as the
reconstruction of facilities destroyed in military operations.
The penultimate stage envisages the disarmament of (ethnic
Albanian) extremists, whereas the last stage should bring the
normalisation of life and amnesty for those who have not
perpetrated crimes.
The plan's key principle is that there can be no changes in the
status of the state and that there will be no federalisation or
declaration of autonomous regions in some areas, let alone the
change of the border, the Macedonian head of state stressed.
