MACEDONIA REAFFIRMS ITS
DESIRE TO JOIN NATO
Macedonia has invited member states of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organisation to back its
candidature at the NATO summit meeting in Prague,
where the matter of NATO expansion will be in
consideration. Macedonian Foreign Minister Slobodan
Casule has addressed his analogues in the NATO
countries with a relative message.
He reaffirms the intention of Macedonia to become a
member of the North Atlantic Alliance and outlines
steps which his country is making in this direction.
Skopje believes that NATO's invitation for Macedonia
"will demonstrate the firm resolve of Western
democracies to back the territorial integrity and
sovereignty of the country". Also, this will
"have a positive effect on the common goal of all
the democratic countries in the region -- the creation
of an indivisible, free, safe and stable Europe",
reads the message of the Macedonian foreign minister.

(Gafur
Adili, Nevzat Halili, Kastriot Haxhirexha
added to list) (270)
The United States announced July 2 its
decision to block the assets of three more
people who have provided "leadership or
material support" to armed insurgents in
the western Balkans, thus threatening
international stabilization efforts in the
region.The sanctioned individuals are Gafur
Adili, Nevzat Halili, and Kastriot Haxhirexha,
according to the following statement from
State Department Spokesman Richard Boucher: |

Al-Qaeda's
Links in the Balkans |

So
why the cautious approach in the Balkans? "The murky
complexity of Balkan politics makes the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict look simple," confides a private-sector security
expert influential with the Bush administration. "We
backed the KLA in the fight against Serbia and we have to take
care not to open up a can of worms."

 Although
Macedonia is a young state that became independent only in 1991,
its roots run deep in history.
Macedonia is an
area, whose name is in fact the oldest surviving name of a
country in all Europe. Located in the Southern Balkans Macedonia
is mentioned as a land several times in the Bible. In
Macedonia a large number of events and changes have taken place
which have also carried significance for people in other
regions. The most well known is the alphabet created by the
brothers Kyrillos and Methodios.
Among other
things Macedonia is famous for its delicious “ajvar” and
rich traditional music and rhythms.
The Former
Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia took part in the Eurovision Song
Contest for the first time in 1998. Their best result was
15th place in 2000.
