Support for the following
referendum from the Diaspora
The Council of the Macedonian community from Melbourne and Victoria has
called the Assembly and has brought the Resolution in which has vigorously
condemned the acceptation of the Code of decentralization in Macedonia, on
August, 19, 2004. The decentralization and the proclamation of Skopje for
bilingual and Struga and Kičevo to become municipalities with Albanian
majority are not in the spirit of the European principles for
decentralization. On the contrary, that is violation of the democracy in
Macedonia by the president Crvenkovski, prime-minister Kostov, Vlado
Bučkovski and Ali Ahmeti. We are giving our full support to the united
opposition, the World Macedonian Congress and to the Macedonian people for
successful referendum. The Republic of Macedonia is the only peace of land
that we have left and we mustn’t give it away by any cost, even more that it
is our patrimony and native country gained by many victims in the wars from
the past. If the referendum is not going to be conducted, that will mean
that only in Macedonia the terrorism is awarded beside the fact that the
entire world is fighting against it. The Ohrid Agreement was extorted by
force, not by democratic way- all the above was concluded by the Council of
the Macedonian community from Melbourne and Victoria. |

The referendum is
dangerous, according to Ahmeti
According to the Ali Ahmeti, the leader of the Democratic Union for
Integration, with fail conducted Ohrid Agreement, Macedonia will enter in
dangerous phase and the successful referendum will bring civil war. Ahmeti,
in the newspaper “Bota sot” from Prishtina, has pointed out that not
fulfilled Ohrid Agreement will mean start from zero and all the chances to
be integrative part of NATO and EU will be lost. All these means, that
everything will turn into wrong direction, with heavy consequences for the
country. But still he is an optimist and he believes that this crisis will
be over come because Macedonia has already over come bigger crises from this
one, in which the opposition and the Macedonian extremists are manipulating
with the people in order to destabilized the country. Ahmeti believes that
the parties in the Governmental coalition will succeed in proclamation of
the so called referendum as failed, because this is the only way to stop the
civil war in Macedonia. Obviously, for Mr. Ahmeti this democratic form of
people’s voice is dangerous because he prefers “the voice of weapon”. |

The Greeks will leave
OKTA?!
According to the Greek newspaper”Katimerini”, the border of the Greek
petrochemical company “Helenik petroleum” has threatened the Macedonian
Government that will close the oil refinery “OKTA” if the government will
not provide settlement of loss because this company has lost the monopoly of
the market which was guarantied with the contract of sale. The
representatives of the Government are denying that they have received any
kind of information from “Helenik petroleum”.
“The Macedonian Government has not received any announcement or request or
any kind of official information from “Helenik petroleum”. We don’t know
about this newspaper’s information and until now the Government was not
informed “this was the statement given by Mirjana Kontevska, counselor for
public relations in the prime-minister office. |

The traveling to EU will be more expensive
The Macedonian citizens, starting from this summer, will be paying more then
100 euros per person if they are traveling in the countries of the EU. This
is the result of the new regulation which European Commission has prepared
for the countries - members of the EU which are signatory countries of the
so called Shengen agreement. During the process of getting visa, the policy
of insurance must be shown. With this policy, Europe is asking for
insurance’s payment for every spent day in the countries of EU. So, one exit
from our country will cost 140 euros even before crossing the border. In
this price is included the yearly visa which cost 35 euros and is providing
multiply entrance in the countries of EU, and the rest of the money is for
the insurance. In the near future, the European Commission is not planning
any change of this regulation which change will provide abolition of visa
requirements for Macedonian citizens. This is the result of the unchanged
status of our country, seen by Brussels. |

MACEDONIA TO USE CROATIAN
EXPERIENCE WITH EURO-INTEGRATION PROCESS
Macedonian President Branko Crvenkovski met Wednesday with the Croatian
Minister for European Integration, Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic.
At the meeting, President Crvenkovski congratulated Grabar Kitarovic on
Croatia's success in the process of Euro-integration, expressing hope that
Macedonia would soon join that process after filling out the questionnaire
from the European Commission.
Having in mind the good cooperation between Macedonia and Croatia, Minister
Grabar Kitarovic stated that both countries will intensify it in the process
of European integration, adding that the most difficult process in the
preparation of the answers is coordination of positions among the ministries
and other state institutions on certain issues, which have multi-sectorial
dimension. According to the Croatian experience, the political criteria are
unique for each country, and refer to current and internal issues, such as
Croatia's cooperation with the Hague Tribunal.
Grabar-Kitarovic stated that in the responses of the questionnaire, there is
a "hidden danger" in the incoordination of statistical data and numbers from
different ministries and state institutions. According to her, Croatia's
experience in this field can be of great use for Macedonia.
The Croatian Minister stressed that Croatia had ambitious plans and goals,
so that it is ready for full-fledged EU membership in 2007. "This is the
only way to animate the state in fulfilling the tasks from the action plan
for Union membership", Grabar Kitarovic said.
