SKOPJE, OCTOBER 4, 1995 (MIC)
PRESIDENT IN A DELICATE SITUATION
A delicate five-hour operation was performed on
President Kiro Gligorov yesterday, in the Surgical clinics in
Skopje, at around 13.30 hours. According to this morning's report
of the Macedonian Radio, a couple of delicate and difficult
operations connected with his meninx and cerebral haemorrhage.
The combined team of doctors from Macedonia, France,
Germany, Greece and professor Antonijevich from Belgrade
diagnosed serious damages to the sight and bodily injuries. It is
unofficially announced that the President's health condition will
be in a delicate phase in the next couple of days, and new
operations on the President's right eye are quite likely, perhaps
even during today.
According to the Macedonian Radio, the doctors have
announced that the consequences from the suffered injuries have
been eliminated with surgery. The intervention passed with stable
vital functions, and the intensive care is continuing.
The health conditions of the other three victims is
unchanged, Jordan Atanasovski and Klime Korobar are stable, while
Hristo Hristomanov is in a more serious condition.
The team of doctors has issued a bulletin on the health
condition of the President of the Republic Kiro Gligorov, who was
the target of yesterday's assassination attempt. The bulletin
says: due to injuries to the area oef the head and the
locomotoric system, the President has had to undergo a difficult
operation.
The President endured the operation and anesthesia
stably, maintaining normal lung and cardiocirculatory functions.
Considering the area of the injuries and the length of the
operation, all the necessary and standard measures of intensive
care have been taken, which maintained the vital functions in
stable physiological values during the night and the morning
hours. The intensive care is on-going, is emphasized in the
bulletin on the health condition of the President of the Republic
of Macedonia Kiro Gligorov.
STOJAN ANDOV TO REPLACE GLIGOROV TEMPORARILY
In view of the fact that the President of the Republic
of Macedonia Kiro Gligorov, following the appalling attempted
assassination on him on October 3, this year, is temporarily
prevented from carrying out his duties, on the basis of article
82, item 3 from the Constitution of the Republic of Macedonia, he
will be replaced in carrying out the function President of the
Republic of Macedonia by the Speaker of Parliament Stojan Andov.
In accordance with item 4 of the same article of the
Constitution of the Republic of Macedonia, Stojan Andov will
simultaneously continue to carry out the function Speaker of
Parliament, however, without the right to decision-making, the
Cabinet of the President of the Republic announced.
IRREGULAR GOVERNMENT SESSION
The Macedonian Government held an irregular session
yesterday afternoon, to discuss developments imposed by the
attempted assassination on President Gligorov.
The Government was informed about the course of events
and certain ministries were instructed to take appropriate
measures and establish full control and supervision of the
situation. Furthermore, the Government has approved and is
organizing the inclusion of foreign medical teams of which some
have already arrived, and has accepted the help offered by
experts from a couple of friendly countries for battling
terrorism, is said in the announcement of the Information
Secretariat.
THE EXPLOSIVE WAS MANUFACTURED ABROAD
"According to the investigation conducted at the scene
of the attempted assassination on President Kiro Gligorov, I can
say that the assassins probably used an explosive with cumulative
action, directed in one direction," says Ivan Jovanovich,
engineer working in "Suvenir" from Samokov on mine-explosives.
"In cases such as this, it is not at all necessary to
use larger quantities of explosive, since even smaller quantities
of directed explosives are sufficient to kill a person or to
create an explosion in which the surrounding buildings, within a
radius of 30 meters will all have broken windows.
Otherwise, according to my opinion, the assassins used
hexogene octagon or plastic explosives, which are highly
explosive materials. The bomb was obviously activated by remote
control, but it would not have been necessary for the assassins
to have been directly near the spot, since the remote control can
activate a bomb even from quite distant objects, such as, for
instance, the object of the Old Railway Station. I'd like to say
that the mentioned types of explosives are not manufactured in
Macedonia, however, they can be found in all neighboring
countries and are easy to come by on the European black market,"
Jovanovich says.
U.S. CONDEMNS ATTACK ON MACEDONIAN PRESIDENT
The spokesman of the U.S. State Department Nicholas
Burns gave a statement at the briefing in Washington about
yesterday's attempted assassination on the President of the
Republic of Macedonia Kiro Gligorov.
Burns stressed the U.S. concern over this terrorist act
and emphasized that Washington would not allow this to have a
bearing on the U.S. help to the nations in the Balkans to create
peace and stability. "We certainly will not allow this crime to
deter us from our determination to help the people of the Balkans
achieve peace and stability and to help the United States achieve
a fully cooperative and strong relationship with the former
Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia."
PAMPHLETS WITH OFFENSIVE CONTENTS
On the occasion of the Convention for Macedonia,
scheduled for October 4, at 19.00 hours in front of the Cathedral
church "St. Clement of Ohrid" in Skopje, pamphlets were scattered
around the houses and apartments in Kichevo early yesterday
morning, calling on the citizens to take part in, as it is stated
"the peaceful protest against the betrayal of the symbol on the
Macedonian flag, the Macedonian minority in the other countries,
and the name, which is definitely lost with the accord, signed by
the current authorities, which are preparing even bigger
betrayals," "Nova Makedonija" writes today.
Following the news about the terrorist act on President
Kiro Gligorov, a number of pamphlets with the aforementioned
contents were pinned up on posts in the town by unknown persons,
with the following words added in handwriting: "Kiro died, may he
not rest in peace."
MACEDONIAN-GREEK NEGOTIATIONS CONTINUING
The delegation of the Foreign Ministry of the Republic
of Macedonia, led by Assistant Minister Ljupcho Arsovski started
preliminary talks in Athens yesterday with an appropriate
delegation of the Greek Foreign Ministry, led by ambassador
Dimitros Kipreos.
The talks are focusing on the practical application of
the interim accord between the two countries, reached on
September 13 in New York. The daily agenda also includes issues
on urgent practical measures for the free movement of people and
goods between the two countries, as well as questions on the
opening of liaisons offices in Skopje and Athens.

VONREDNA SEDNICA NA VLADATA
Vladata na Republika Makedonija vcera popladne odrza
vonredna sednica po povod novonastanata situacija so atentatot
vrz pretsedatelot Gligorov .
Vladata bese informirana za tekot na nastanite i protoa
na oddelni ministerstva im bese nalozeno da prevzemat soodvetni
merki za nivno zasileno funkcioniranje i vospostavuvanje celosna
kontrola i nadzor vrz sostojbite. Isto taka, Vladata odobri i
organizira vklucuvanje na stranski medicinski ekipi od koi nekoi
vekje pristignaa i naedno ja prifati ponudenata pomos od eksperti
za borba protiv terorizmot na povekje prijatelski drzavi, se veli
vo soopstenieto na sekretarijatot za informacii.
UPOTREBEN E EKSPLOZIV PROIZVEDEN VO STRANSTVO
"Spored uvidot vo situacijata na mestoto na atentatot
vrz pretsedatelot Gligorov mozam da kazam deka atentatorite
najverojatno upotrebile eksploziv so kumulativno dejstvo nasoceno
vo eden pravec," veli Ivan Jovanovic, inzener koj raboti vo
"Suvenir" od Samokov na minsko-eksplozivni sredstva.
Vo vakov slucaj ne e voopsto potrebno koristenje na
golemi kolicestva eksploziv, bidejki i pomali kolicestva nasocen
eksploziv se dovolni za usmrtuvanje na covek ili za eksplozija vo
koja okolnite zgradi vo radius od 30 metri ke imaat iskrseni
stakla.
Inaku, spored moe mislenje, atentatorite upotrebile
heksogen oktogen ili plasticen eksploziv koi se visoko brizantni
eksplozivni sredstva. Bombata e ocigledno aktivirana so
dalecinski upravuvac, no pritoa atentatorite ne e neophodno da
bile vo neposredna blizina na mestoto na nastanot, bidejki so
upravuvacot moze da se aktivira bombaa i od mnogu poodaleceni
objekti, kako sto e, na primer, kompleksot na Starata zeleznicka
stanica. Bi sakal da kazam deka spomenatite vidovi eksploziv ne
se proizveduvaat vo Makedonija, no zatoa pak niv gi ima vo site
sosedni zemji i tie se lesno dostapni na evropskiot crn pazar,"
istaknuva Jovanovic.

Makedonija, naglasi portparolot na amerikanskiot Stejt department
Nikolas Barns.
