at the high-security Gobustan jail, Turan reported on 5

Twenty-three prisoners and one prison guard have been charged

former Army General Vahid Musaev, were killed when Interior

Ministry troops stormed the prison. LF

[03] GEORGIAN COUP SUSPECT DIES IN JAIL

Security Ministry official Temur Papuashvili died in prison

Papuashvili had refused to give any evidence during his

[05] TWO KYRGYZ OPPOSITION PARTIES ALIGN...

Party and the Democratic Movement of Kyrgyzstan held separate

congresses in Bishkek on 5 January at which they announced

the formation of an electoral alliance for the 20 February

parliamentary poll, RFE/RL's bureau in the Kyrgyz capital

reported. The parties also drew up a joint list of 19

candidates to contest the 15 seats in the new parliament that

will be allocated under the proportional system. Ar-Namys,

which is the second largest party in Kyrgyzstan, is barred by

law from setting up a separate party list as the party was

formed less than one year before the election date. LF

[06] ...KYRGYZ OPPOSITION LEADER WOOS RUSSIAN MINORITY...

Bishkek Mayor Feliks Kulov, who is chairman of the Ar-Namys

Party, told the estimated 700 delegates at the party congress

that, if elected, he will campaign to have the Russian

language formally recognized in the Kyrgyz Constitution as

one of the country's official languages, according to ITAR-

TASS. Kulov also said Ar-Namys will try to ensure as much

representation as possible for the country ethnic minorities

in the new parliament. He noted that almost all of the

deputies in the outgoing parliament are ethnic Kyrgyz. LF

[07] ...FACES CRIMINAL CHARGES

Office has launched criminal proceedings against Kulov on

charges of illegally confiscating almost half a million

liters of spirit valued at $1.5 million from the Khimsintez

company in 1996, when he was governor of Chu Oblast, RFE/RL's

Bishkek bureau reported on 5 January. Kulov said at the time

that the spirit had been imported illegally. LF

[08] TURKMEN PRESIDENT FIRES DEPUTY PREMIER

accusing him of professional failings and immodesty in his

private life, Interfax reported on 5 January. Niyazov

specifically criticized the shortfall in tax collection,

which he said has had a negative impacts on macro-economic

reforms. A former chairman of the Central Bank, Orazov was

appointed deputy prime minister responsible for the economic

and finance ministries and the banking sector in a May

cabinet reshuffle aimed at increasing foreign investment (see

"RFE/RL Newsline," 25 May 1999). Niyazov appointed current

The country will also export 33 billion cubic meters of

natural gas, of which 20 billion will go to Russia and 5

billion to Iran. Under a 10-year economic development program

adopted last July, Turkmenistan plans to expand annual oil

output to 30 million tons by 2010. LF

[B] SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE

[10] MONTENEGRIN OFFICIAL CALLS FOR REFERENDUM ON INDEPENDENCE

Montenegrin government's platform for redefining relations

with Belgrade has been "completely superseded, and it is

impossible to create a joint state with Serbia," the Serbian

news agency Beta reported, citing the Banja Luka newspaper

"Nezavisne Novine." Burzan said in an interview that a

referendum on independence from Belgrade "must be held." He

said the international community should know that "Montenegro

is economically independent, that it can survive as an

independent state, and that its independence would not cause

a repeat of the instability in the region." PB

[11] DINAR CIRCULATION IN MONTENEGRO DECREASES SHARPLY

Vesovic, the Montenegrin official in charge of the republic's

money supply, said on 5 January that the introduction in

November of the German mark as a parallel currency has been

successful and that the supply of dinars in the economy has

sharply decreased, the newspaper "Pobjeda" reported. The

paper said Montenegro may phase out use of Yugoslavia's

official currency by the end of this month. PB

[12] GRANIC CHOSEN BY HDZ AS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE...

Croatian Democratic Community (HDZ) on 5 January chose

Foreign Minister Mate Granic to be the party's candidate in

the country's upcoming presidential election, HINA reported.

Some 96 percent of the several hundred delegates gathered at

the party's general assembly voted for Granic. The delegates

also named party hardliner Vladimir Seks to be acting

president of the HDZ until a party congress next month. The

post is viewed as a reward for Seks for giving up his

ambition to be the party's presidential candidate. "Vjesnik"

and "Jutarnji list" reported signs of a split in the party

between hardliners and reformists at the congress, with

reports of HDZ members exchanging bitter personal charges in

the aftermath of the parliamentary elections in which the

party lost its majority. PB

[13] ...AS EIGHT OTHERS REGISTER FOR ELECTION

runner Drazen Budisa, and Stipe Mesic, who was once a member

of the former Yugoslavia's federal presidency, lead a pack of

nine people who will run for president on 24 January, AP

reported on 5 January. Also entering the race were former

Justice Minister Zvonimir Separovic, ex-legislator Ante

Prkacin, right-wing candidates Ante Djapic and Tomislav

Mercep, sociologist Slaven Letica, and businessman Ante

Ledic. Campaigning is scheduled to begin on 8 January. Budisa

and Granic are considered the favorites. PB

[14] IZETBEGOVIC CONGRATULATES CROATIAN OPPOSITION

member of the presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Alija

Izetbegovic, congratulated Croatia's Social Democratic Party

and the Croatian Social Liberal Party on their parliamentary

victory, the Croatian news agency HINA reported on 5 January.

Izetbegovic said he is convinced that the win will "mark a

new chapter in the cooperation and good neighborly relations

between our two countries." Meanwhile, in Tuzla, U.S. members

of the NATO-led peacekeepers oversaw the destruction of

thousands of weapons from the demilitarized area of Brcko.

U.S. Colonel Wallace Matteson said the destruction of

Serbian, Croatian, and Muslim weapons from Brcko is "going

well." PB

[15] KLEIN DECRIES FAILURE TO ARREST KARADZIC

head of the UN mission in Bosnia-Herzegovina, on 5 January

said indicted war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic remains at

large due to a lack of political will to arrest him, Reuters

reported. Klein said that if Karadzic had been arrested

"three or four years ago, we would be much further along in

the peace process." He said Karadzic demonstrates "the

impotence of the West in the face of evil." The NATO-led

Stabilization Force has arrested 16 war crimes suspects in

Bosnia so far, but more than 30 others remain at large,

including Karadzic and his military commander during the

1992-95 Bosnian war, Ratko Mladic. PB

[16] SERBIAN POLICE OFFICER REJECTS MEDAL FROM MILOSEVIC

Police Captain Slobodan Pajic refused to accept a medal from

Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic on 5 January, saying

the government's policies had failed in Kosova, the

independent daily "Blic" reported. Pajic refused the Knight's

Sword, saying he doesn't "deserve any medal since innocent

Serbs and non-Albanians are still being slaughtered in

Kosovo." He said many men from the Belgrade brigade "were

either killed or wounded...(and) several of them have gone

crazy because they were not prepared for such a conflict." In

other news, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan welcomed the

release of Australian Branko Jelen, who worked for the

humanitarian organization CARE and spent the last nine months

in jail on espionage charges. Jelen was released on 31

December. PB

[17] YUGOSLAVIA FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST NATO MEMBERS

embassy in The Hague on 5 January said the country has filed

a lawsuit in the UN International Court of Justice that

accuses eight NATO member-states of violating international

law with the alliance's air campaign against Yugoslavia last

year, AFP reported. The suit charges the U.K., France,

Germany, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Holland, and Canada of

"using force against a sovereign state" and of failing "to

prevent the genocide" of Serbs and non-Albanian ethnic

groups. The court dismissed an earlier case filed against the

U.S. and Spain, saying it has no jurisdiction in the matter.

PB

[18] KOSOVAR LEADER SAYS ALBANIAN AGENTS WORKING IN KOSOVA

Bukashi, head of the self-styled "Kosova-Albanian

government," said on 5 January that Albanian agents are in

Kosova trying to destabilize the province, dpa reported.

Bukashi, who lives in a self-imposed exile in Germany, said

the agents work for the Albanian secret service and are

"walking freely on the roads of Prishtina." Bukashi is

involved in a long-running dispute with Albania's current

Socialist leaders, who backed the Kosova Liberation Army

(UCK) during its armed insurgence against Serbian forces and

now support former UCK leader Hashim Thaci, who is Bukashi's

rival. PB

[19] MURDERS CONTINUE IN KOSOVA

Administration Mission in Kosova said on 5 January that three

people were murdered in the province over the last two days,

the Serbian news agency Beta reported. Nadia Jones said a

Serb was killed in Kosovska Kamenica and that two ethnic

Albanians were murdered, one in Shtime and the other in Peje.

She said police have arrested a suspect in the Peje murder.

PB

[20] ROMANIAN PRESIDENT MEETS ARAFAT

January met in Bethlehem with Palestinian Authority chairman

Yasser Arafat and invited him to visit Romania, an RFE/RL

correspondent in Jerusalem reported. They agreed to set up a

commission to examine ways of increasing cooperation.

Constantinescu on the same day concluded the official part of

his visit to Israel by meeting with a group of local

businessmen. He then traveled to Jericho with Orthodox

Patriarch Teoctist, where they both laid the ceremonial first

stone of a Romanian religious establishment on a piece of

land that Arafat personally set aside for that purpose.

Constantinescu and Teoctist are participating in a unique 6-7

January gathering of representatives from 14 Orthodox

churches to celebrate the 2,000th anniversary of

Christianity. Also in attendance are the presidents of

Belarus, Greece, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine, as well as

former Russian President Boris Yeltsin. MS

[21] NEW ROMANIAN FOREIGN MINISTER SETS POLICY PRIORITIES

Roman on 5 January said European integration and his

country's efforts to fulfill EU criteria for membership are

his ministry's top priorities. Roman said the new Department

for European Integration in the Foreign Ministry will be

headed by Eugen Dijmarescu, formerly Romania's ambassador to

Japan. Dijmarescu will hold the rank of deputy minister,

RFE/RL's Bucharest bureau reported. He also said that EU

Commission Chairman Romano Prodi will visit Bucharest on 13

January and will participate in a Romanian cabinet meeting.

Meanwhile, the Central Statistical Board on 5 January said

Romania's GDP in 1999 dropped by 5.4 percent compared with

the previous year. MS

[22] OSCE 'WORRIED' BY RUSSIA'S POSITION OVER TRANSDNIESTER

General Roman Hormoza, deputy chief of

the OSCE mission to Moldova, on 5 January said the OSCE is

"worried" by Russia's decision to link the evacuation of its

military arsenal from the Transdniester with a political

settlement on the special status of the separatist republic

within Moldova, RFE/RL's Chisinau bureau reported. Hormoza

said Russia's stance is "unjustified." He said the arsenal

that was left in the Transdniester after the evacuation of

the former 14th Army far exceeds the needs of the present

Russian contingent in the region. According to OSCE data,

there are some 20 tons of military equipment for every

Russian soldier the Transdniester. Hormoza described the

ratio as "unmatched in any other military contingent in the

world." He added that the OSCE is worried by the position of

the Transdniester separatists, who do not accept the

agreements that were reached at the Istanbul OSCE summit last

year. MS

[23] FORMER DEFENSE, SECURITY MINISTER APPOINTED MOLDOVAN SECURITY

President Petru Lucinschi on 5 January

appointed Valeriu Pasat to head the newly-created Information

and Security Service, RFE/RL's Chisinau bureau reported.

Pasat served as defense minster from January 1997 to May

1999. Since then, he has served as national security

minister. MS

[24] BULGARIA MAKES APPEAL TO ITALY OVER DETAINED SHIP CREW

investigation into the case of a Bulgarian cargo ship that

was detained in Italy in December 1999 after 321 illegal

migrants were discovered on board. Foreign Ministry spokesman

Radko Vlaikov said the captain claims that migrants hijacked

the ship when it stopped in northwest Turkey and forced the

crew to sail to Italy. Vlaikov said Bulgaria wants a "fair

investigation" into how the migrants got on board and whether

the crew assisted them, Reuters reported. MS
