          MACEDONIA IN PARTNERSHIP FOR PEACE (PFP)
Skopje, Brussels, June 14, 1996 (Press TWRA) - In the NATO seat in
Brussels, an agreement by which Macedonia accepts the NATO program
"Partnership  for peace"  was signed. By this individual  program,
Macedonia  has  become,  within PFP, a  privileged  NATO  partner,
Macedonian   Foreign  Ministry  informed  yesterday   in   Skopje.
Macedonia  has become PFP member in November 15, 1995.  Macedonian
Foreign  Minister, Ljubomir Frckovski, who paid visit to  Brussels
and  talked to Javier Solana, stated on a press-conference: " Such
a  cooperation with NATO was accepted in our country by  consensus
for  it  means a lot for a whole stability in Macedonia and wider.
The  program  we agreed upon foresees a military training  on  the
ground  of  Macedonia as well as the participation  of  Macedonian
soldiers  in joint maneuvers in other countries." In a  discussion
for  Skopje  chronicle  "Nova Makedonija"  (New  Macedonia),  NATO
General Secretary, J. Solana pointed out that by a full-membership
to  PFP  Macedonia  has passed a first phase  in  the  process  of
joining  the  Northatlantic  military  union.  U.S.  Minister   of
defense,  W.  Perry, who, by the mid of this week, paid  visit  to
Macedonia  for  the  third  time this year,  talked  to  President
Gligorov  and  assisted in the Military Academy of the  Macedonian
Army  "Goce  Delcev"  to the unveiling ceremony  of  the  monument
dedicated to deceased Pentagon official, Joseph Kruzel (lost  near
Sarajevo),  addressed to the Parliament in Skopje,  saying:  "U.S.
sincerely  want  to  see Macedonia as a part of  Marshall  Europe.
Marshall vision foresees democratic Europe from Atlantic to  Ural.
One  half  of  Europe  supported this plan  while  the  other  was
prevented  by Stalin. Now, we welcome the countries that  want  to
join  NATO  -27 of them. We express our thankfulness to  Macedonia
for  helping the Balkans to save themselves from a general war.  A
military-humanitarian  exercise  will  be  held  this  autumn   in
Macedonia." As far as BH is concerned, Perry said: "Bosnia  became
a  pot  for  Marshall Europe, a base through which  such  a  joint
democratic  union  could be realized." Perry offered  to  Sobranje
(macedonian parliament) deputies, a copy of his official report on
plans and policy of the U.S. Army in last year, which presents, in
a  fact,  an official Pentagon statement. The main event for  NATO
is,  however,  the  return of France to the full-membership  in  a
military  part  of  the Union. Thus, after three  decades,  French
Minister  of defense and Supreme Commander of the French  Army  HQ
will  assist  to NATO sessions. Thus, Joel Marchand was  liberated
from  all  other obligations in the French army as being appointed
by  NATO  military  board  to the sector  named  "Cooperation  and
regional  security"  to  the Main NATO international  military  HQ
administration. It is for the first time that one French  official
was  appointed  on such a post. However, besides the  fact  France
requested  European Commander of the NATO forces in  Europe,  U.S.
Assistant  Minister  of  defense,  Frank  Kramer,  stated  it   is
necessary, for the maintaining of the relation over Atlantic, that
this  post  remains to U.S. General, adding this  was  unanimously
accepted by all members of the Union. (end) A.S.
