SKOPJE, OCTOBER 18, 1995 (MIC)

PRESIDENT'S HEALTH - GOOD
The President of the Republic of Macedonia Kiro
Gligorov is being treated in the Surgical clinics - central unit
for intensive treatment with the Clinic for Anesthesiology,
reanimatiology and intensive care.
The President is in a good health condition. The
hospital treatment is continuing, is said in the announcement of
the medical team.

SECURITY COUNCIL: SITUATION IS STABLE
The Security Council of the Republic of Macedonia held
a session yesterday, which was presided over by Parliamentary
Speaker Stojan Andov. The session focused on the current
political-security situation in the Republic of Macedonia, which
was described as stable, with normal functions of the system.
The Council was also informed about the course of the
investigation into the recent assassination attempt on the
President of the Republic of Macedonia Kiro Gligorov, is said in
the announcement of the cabinet of the President of RM.

FORMAL COMMEMORATION OF 50 YEARS OF UN
As an equal and full member of the world organization,
the Republic of Macedonia yesterday joined the celebrations
marking the 50 year anniversary of the UN. Yesterday's formal
assembly in the Macedonian National Theater presents an
introduction into the events that have yet to take place, under
the organization of the committee for the marking of the jubilee,
which will be held during next month.
Parliamentary Speaker Stojan Andov addressed the formal
assembly with the words that Macedonia's accession to the UN is
of exceptional importance for this country which is struggling
for the peaceful development of the Balkans. "Macedonia, as it is
known, accomplished its independence through peaceful and
legitimate means, avoiding the ethnic war on the regions of
former Yugoslavia."
Before the beginning of the assembly, a collection of
basic documents of the UN was promoted, as the organization that
is most concerned about the economic programs in the developing
countries, and which is the most dedicated protector of the
hungry, sick and displaced persons. As such, the UN has received
several Nobel prizes.

MACEDONIA HAS LIVED THROUGH AN ATTACK OF VIOLENCE
Parliamentary Speaker Stojan Andov emphasized, on the
occasion of the 50 year anniversary of the UN that
"unfortunately, in the wake of this COMMEMORATION, the Republic
of Macedonia lived through an attack of violence, and
assassination attempt on the President of the Republic of
Macedonia Kiro Gligorov. And, on this occasion, I would like to
repeat the unanimous assessment and stance of the citizens of
Macedonia that it was a terrorist act and brutal attempt to
eliminate the most prominent personality of our day and to deter
the course of the Macedonian state towards its consolidation and
accession to the European and world integrations. This appalling
attack was an attack against the reason and peace in the region,
and against the Europeization of the Balkans. President Gligorov
has survived the attack and is recovering. I has one this battle,
as many others before.
However, these days have been trying for all of us. The
Republic of Macedonia has shown that there is no power that can
deter it from the path it has set for itself with the
Constitution and other acts, as an expression of the will of the
citizens. Furthermore, it has also established its role as a key
factor of the peace in the south of the Balkans, it has confirmed
that it has the strength, even under such criminal pressure, not
to back down from its lasting orientations and strategic goals:
to strengthen the Macedonian state, its European orientation, to
get included in the European and world organizations as soon as
possible, to develop good-neighborly relations and an active
policy of equidistance with all neighbors, to stimulate the
process of Europeization of the Balkans, to strengthen the legal
state and the civil society, to keep the inter-ethnic and inter-
religious peace, tolerance and mutual trust.
Precisely for these reasons, we all wish President
Gligorov a speedy recovery and return to his regular duties."

ANDOV: "THE UN WILL ACCEPT MACEDONIA'S CONSTITUTIONAL
NAME"
In his speech on the significance of the World
organization and its humane and peace-keeping mission throughout
the world, Andov said, among the rest: "I would like to express
my conviction that in the interest of its own Charter and in the
interest of the peace, stability and protection of the right to
self-orientation, the UN will accept our country's constitutional
name. Even more so seeing it has proven to be utterly irrational
to think it could disturb the security in the region. Patiently,
Macedonia has taken the place in the international community that
belongs to it naturally, and has never deviated from the policy
of dialogue, tolerance and understanding in the relations with
its neighbors and the broader international community. As a
result, normal relations have been restored with the Republic of
Greece, with the benevolent help of the UN. An Interim Accord has
been signed between the two countries, and Macedonia has
fulfilled its obligations from that accord even before the
foreseen period. It has done that in the interest of the two
countries and peoples, and in the interest of the peace and
stability in the south of the Balkans.

REGULATION OF TRANSPORT, CONNECTIONS, CUSTOMS
In accordance with the Memorandum for "Practical
measures," signed on October 13th, 1995 in Skopje and related to
the Interim Accord signed in New York by the foreign ministers
Stevo Crvenkovski and Karolos Papoulias, several groups of
experts from a couple of ministries, public companies and
agencies from the Republic of Macedonia left for Athens
yesterday, for talks with their Greek colleagues.
Over the next couple of days, the experts will be
working on the details surrounding a number of questions,
including transport, connections, PTT traffic, customs
regulations, green cards, the visa regime, etc. the Foreign
Ministry of the Republic of Macedonia announced.

MACEDONIA PROPOSING GAS LINE SKOPJE-SALONIKA
The Macedonian Assistant Minister of Energy Nikola
Cerepnalkovski proposed the building of a gas line linking Skopje
and Salonika, at the international seminar that was held in
Salonika yesterday afternoon, on the theme "The links for the
traffic with natural gas, petrol and electric energy in the
Balkans." The gas line would be 400 km long, in both directions,
and could help in the development of the refineries that exist in
both towns. This will replace the railroad transport of the
petrol, and reduce travel costs.
He added that the Macedonian Government has been
considering such a plan for a longer time already, in parallel
with the former proposal for the gas line Burgas - Skopje -
Duress. It is considered that the Skopje-Salonika alternative
would pay off much quicker, so an official proposal to this
effect will be submitted to the Greek Government during next
year, the Assistant Minister of Energy said. Under conditions
when everyone is pulling on their own side, when there is no
cooperation and joint planning between the Balkan countries, and
Athens is especially interested in the realization of the gas
line Burgas-Aleksandropolis, Cerepnalkovski's proposal comes as a
complete surprise to many people in Athens.

BORDER WITH FRY WITHOUT GREATER TRANSIT
Following the opening of the border with Greece, there
doesn't seem to be much traffic on the border points along the
Macedonian-Yugoslav border these past three days. At the border
point Tabanovce, the flow of passenger and cargo vehicles in both
directions is as usual. Over the last 24 hours, some 1,200
vehicles with some 5,500 passengers have been noticed waiting 15
to 30 min. to enter or exit Macedonia, which is even less than
one month ago. The number of Greek vehicles transiting through
this border point is still at the same level as in the previous
days.

PETROL THROUGH DEVE BAIR BY END OF YEAR
According to the valid agreements, the convoys with
petrol and oil derivatives for Macedonia will continue coming in
through the border point Deve Bair in Bulgaria until the end of
this year.
Under the conditions of the Greek blockade and
sanctions against FRY, this border point was the only link with
the world, especially for the import of strategic raw materials
and import-export activities of the economy.
The frequency at this border point is expected to drop
some 30% after the opening of the border with Greece. However,
the intensity of the shopping tours toward Sofia and Istanbul is
expected to remain the same. It is estimated that due to the
established economic and other links, and the cheaper market in
these countries, people from Macedonia have in Bulgaria and
Turkey, this type of transit will not decline.

LOCAL SELF-MANAGEMENT IN PARLIAMENT TOMORROW
The Macedonian Parliament will be reviewing the draft-
law on local self-managemement tomorrow. This is one of the key
laws from the field of the political system, which will add the
final touches to the establishment of the local authority in the
country.
Last month, this law successfully passed the commission
debate in Parliament, where it got a green light.
During the discussion, a number of amendments to this
law were brought by the commissions in Parliament. In general,
they dealt with specifications to the text of the law. However, a
number of amendments applied to some essential supplements, or
changes to the offered solutions. The law has also been
coordinated with the law on elementary education, the competence
of the mayor has been outlined, and to a certain extent, the
authority of the chief city architect has been reduced. In
addition, corrections have been made to the part pertaining to
the bilingual use of languages, by increasing the use of the
language of the nationality in municipalities predominantly
inhabited by members of a certain minority.

ILLEGAL UNIVERSITY STARTS WORKING
The illegal university in Tetovo started its academic
year yesterday in the object in the village Mala Rechica in
Tetovo, where clashes broke out between the police and Albanian
citizens on February 17, this year.
At the formal ceremony which was attended by the
professors Milaim Fejzi, Safedein Haruni, Rahmi Tuda, Ismail
Hodza, Masar Kodra, as well as representatives from UNPREDEP, the
president of the university Fadil Sulejmani informed that 1,254
students have been enrolled, of which half are girls. He added
that 150 professors have been engaged to hold classes in 17
lecture halls.
Otherwise, Fadil Sulejmani was tried on charges of
inciting citizens to resistance and was sentenced to two and a
half years in prison. Sulejmani was released on a bail of 100,000
DEM.
Today, "Nova Makedonija" comments that Sulejmani is
carrying on with his illegal activities and is encouraging
Albanian young people to study at this University which is not
recognized by anyone, and where they can easily acquire diplomas
that have no validity.
