STILL THERE IS NO BIRD FLU
IN MACEDONIA
According to the Ministry of agriculture, still there is no bird flu in
Macedonia. At part of the tested wild and domestic birds in Macedonia an
atypical plague or pipka was found for now, which has similar symptoms as
the bird flu but it’s not dangerous for the people.
Bird flu has been discovered in the neighbor countries, Greece, Bulgaria as
well as in Turkey, Hungary, Slovenia, Romania, Croatia, and Bosnia and
Herzegovina. Recently, two hunters dressed up in protected clothes were
shooting seagulls, herons and cormorants at the Dojran Lake. The birds that
were shot were packed in bags and given to the veterinarians who tool
samples for examinations of the deadly disease, after which the samples were
immediately sent for diagnostic in the Veterinarian institute in Skopje.
In the next period a second phase from the monitoring has been planned,
which should be reinforced because with the spring coming the birds are
returning in Macedonia and there is a possibility to bring the disease. |

DIMITROV- A COORDINATOR FOR
INTEGRATION OF MACEDONIA IN NATO
Macedonia wants on the Summit of NATO in Riga this year, instead of clearly
signal to receive membership invitation for the next enlargement of the
Alliance. All activities in relation to the integration in NATO will be lead
by still the actual ambassador in USA, Nikola Dimitrov, who should return to
Skopje next month. It’s been speculated that the Prime Minister Vlado
Buckovski decided to give Dimitrov a new function, respectively a national
coordinator for integration of Macedonia in NATO. The argumentation about
this decision is that Dimitrov recently worked on the activities for
membership of the country in the Alliance and that so far he had excellent
results. |

FINANCIAL PROBLEMS

employees will be paid, but they made efforts to increase the payment of the
membership fee. In the administration of SSM in the whole country are 98

churches, principally, support and help will be requested from the cosmic
