Macedonia: Vedrine: French Foreign Minister, Hubert Vedrine visit

(10 Mar 2001) French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine said that the international community supported Macedonian authorities in their fight against terrorist groups in the northwest of the country. Vedrine held talks with his Macedonian counterpart Srdjan Kerim in Skopje on Saturday. Although the sorties of terrorists who name themselves "liberators of Macedonian Albanians" are sporadic and isolated, "these incidents are rather serious in order to incite N-A-T-O, the European Union and the governments of the region to deal with this problem," the minister said. He means not only France which has done it, but also Britain, Germany, Italy and other countries. The French minister is also expected to meet Macedonian Prime Minister Ljubco Georgievski and President Boris Trajkovski. SOUNDBITE: (Macedonian) "The old security measures on the Kosovo-Macedonia border should be done in close co-operation with N-A-T-O. Also I need to say that these events are not going to cloud our vision with regards to our efforts towards joining the E-U and NATO " SUPERCAPTION: Srdjan Kerim, Macedonian Foreign Minister SOUNDBITE: (French) "On the situation on the frontier of Macedonia, and taking into account President Trajkovsk said in Paris to the President of Republic and the government, I think it's necessary to make another trip to Skopje."
