SKOPJE, Aug 9 (Hina) - Stressing the situation in Macedonia is
critical, the country's national security council advocated more
energetic offensive measures be undertaken to secure the safety of
police and military forces, as well as the citizens of Macedonia,
the council said last night after a session.
Without the use of force, cease-fire cannot be imposed, nor can
conditions be created for the start of the implementation of the
frame peace document.
The council called on the citizens of Macedonia to be unified in
supporting state institutions "because any endangering of public
peace and order and obstructing the regular functioning of
institutions weakens the security forces".
Recalling the NATO mediated in making a cease-fire possible on July
6, the security council concluded the continuation of its violation
seriously brings into question NATO's credibility.
The protest rally held in front of the Macedonian parliament
Wednesday night, following the killing of ten Macedonian soldiers
by the Albanian guerrilla, passed peacefully for the most part.
However, after 10pm a group of citizens first tried to force their
way into a nearby hospital where seven injured Albanian extremists
are hospitalised, but were prevented from doing so by police.
The group then went to a shopping centre where they demolished
several Albanian-owned shops. Police reinstated order.
Albanian extremists opened fire towards Macedonian troops in
Tetovo and surroundings all through last night.
