MACEDONIAN GENERAL WARNS OF CRITICAL PERIOD AHEAD
Skopje. General Todor Atanasovski, a member of Macedonian
President Kiro Gligorov's Security Council, has warned that his
country faces a critical period ahead.
He told the Macedonian daily newspaper, "Nova Makedonija," that
Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia-Hercegovina were invaded by Serbia
just as they were about to be recognised by the European
Community. General Atanasovski (retired) said his country could
be invaded as recognition by the EC looked imminent.

ALBANIAN LEADER CLAIMS RIOT WAS SET UP BY MACEDONIA
Skopje. The parliamentary leader of the ethnic Albanian party in
Macedonia, Muhamed Halili, claimed that last week's riot by
ethnic Albanians in Skopje, the Macedonia capital, was set up by
the Macedonian Interior Ministry, whose objective was to focus
world attention on the republic's vulnerability to ethnic
conflict, and strengthen its case for recognition.
In an interview for "Nova Makedonija" he said that he did not
condone the use of violence, and the destruction of shops and
police vehicles during the riot. Halili added that the Macedonian
police should punish those responsible for the riot.
The ethnic Albanian politician said his party had not yet
considered withdrawing from the coalition government of
Macedonia.

BULGARIA SUPPORTS BALKAN STABILITY
Skopje. Bulgaria will support any diplomatic initiative that
brings stability to the Balkans, in particular Greece's recent
offer to respect Macedonia's existing borders, according to the
Bulgarian Foreign Minister.
Stojan Ganev said the Greek plan was aimed at Albania and Serbo-
Yugoslavia rather than his country, because Bulgaria had since
the middle of January of this year categorically denied having
any territorial claims on Macedonia.
The Bulgarian President, Zelju Zelev, has also added his approval
to the Greek plan, but he told the Greek daily newspaper,
"Solun," that Greece's insistence on a change of name for
Macedonia was "incomprehensible" and "unreasonable."

FRANCE TO SEND DIPLOMAT TO MACEDONIA
Skopje. France will send a diplomat to the Republic of Macedonia,
and will also allow the republic to set up a diplomatic office
in Paris, according to a statement issued by the French Foreign
Minister, Roland Dumas.

CANADIANS MARCH FOR MACEDONIAN RECOGNITION
Toronto. According to the November edition of the Canadian-
Macedonian Federation Bulletin, on Sunday, November 22, a parade
commemorating Macedonian independence will be held at Queen's
Park, Toronto, Canada, at 1.00pm. Organised by the Macedonian
Youth Association, the parade marks the achievement of
independence for Macedonia and will allow the Canadian-Macedonian
Community to voice its demand for Canadian and world recognition
of Macedonia as an independent nation-state.

CANADIAN ETHNIC COMMUNITIES ASKED TO SUPPORT RESOLUTION
Toronto. According to the CMF Bulletin, November edition, a
resolution supporting international recognition of Macedonia had
been initiated by the CMF and has been circulated for signature
amongst the various Canadian ethnic communities. The declaration
includes a plea to the United Nations to "publicly state and
certify by treaty the independence of the Republic of Macedonia
and the inviolability of its borders and... its acceptance into
the community of peaceful nations."
