NEWS REVIEW, REPUBLIKA SRPSKA
ATHENS - The former Spanish premier, Philippe Gonzales is likely to replace
Carl Bildt in the office of high representative for the former Yugoslavia
this spring, writes the Greek paper "Elephterotipia". The paper writes that
Gonzales is well-known by his diplomatic skill, and his entrance
examination was successful last December when, upon the invitation of
Serbia's president Slobodan Milosevic, he came on behalf of OSCE to Serbia
in order to check results in Yugoslavia. Gonzales confirmed the
opposition's victory and called on Milosevic to recognise it.
BERLIN - Slobodan Milosevic and Franjo Tudjman, presidents of Serbia and
Croatia respectively, stole not only votes but future of their own peoples,
as well, says a commentary published by the German paper "Zeit", adding
that Milosevic and Tudjman's time is running out, this owing partly to
their neglecting of the opposition.
BERLIN - The German daily "Yunge Welt" quotes her saying NATO will not be
able to stabilise peace within 18 months time in which process the German
Government, first of all defence minister Folkner Rie, has completely
different motives.

of Macedonia (BJRM) Ljubisav Ivanov, denied accusations coming from the
BYRM premier and president of the Socialdemocratic Alliance, Branko
Crvenovski, that Socialists want to reintegrate the BYRM into Yugoslavia.
THESALONIKI - Measures of stabilisation and restrictions of public
expenditures, undertaken by the Greek Government to make the allowed budget
deficit adjusted for requirements envisaged by EU Mastricht Agreement,
provoked a row of strikes of farmers and teachers in Greece.
MOSCOW - Talks on release of 15 persons taken hostage by Islam extremists
in Tajikistan are continued with involvement of the Tajikistan's president
Imomali Rakhmanov and one of Afganistani military commanders Mohamad Sah
Masud. The hostagetakers demand that brother of a loyal military commander -
