SKOPJE, Aug 6 (Hina) - Albanian and Macedonian negotiators resumed
their political talks on Monday after harmonising last night the
composition and powers of the police and previously a legislation
package on the usage of national minorities' languages.
The talks focus on the remaining issues of a framework document
aimed at ending Macedonia's six-month crisis.

foreign affairs, Javier Solana, said the negotiations were
successful, Albanian guerrillas in the southern Balkans' state's
hot spots resumed shooting.
