INTERNATIONAL ENVOYS' PROPOSAL UNACCEPTABLE TO MACEDONIAN GOV'T

SKOPJE, July 18 (Hina) - The newest package of measures introduced by the European Union and United States envoys Francois Leotard and James Pardew was a serious and brutal interfering in Macedonian interior affairs. It leads the country to federalisation, the Macedonian Prime Minister and head of VMRO-DPMNE party, Ljubco Georgievski, said Wednesday. Their style by which they want to make state institutions adopt their ideas on how Macedonia's future should be is brutal, Georgievski said. The international mediators proposed to the Macedonian government to adopt the resolution in line with which Albanian language would, next to the Macedonian, be the official language in the country, and to form local police forces according to the ethnic factor. Until present day, we have adopted four documents of the international community with numerous concessions and that is why we demand that dialogue be conducted on the principle of the framework document, Georgievski said. He expects more pressure to arise with Thursday's arrival of NATO Secretary General George Robertson and European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana that the offered be accepted. Asked about what sorts of threats Macedonia could expect should it fail to adopt Albanian requests, Georgievski answered that until the present day Macedonia received all possible threats and blackmails. One thing we have not heard yet is that we would be bombed by NATO - and which we can expect now, he added. (hina) np it
