Forwarded by Melentie Pandilovski <mpandil@soros.org.mk> ----------------------- Original Message ----------------------- From: Francisco Javier Bernal <asterion@NTLWORLD.COM> To: ZAMIR-CHAT-LIST@LISTSERV.ACSU.BUFFALO.EDU Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2001 19:22:52 -0000 Subject: Another Macedonian Appeal for Peace... ---- AN APPEAL TO ALL PEOPLE CONCERNED ABOUT PEACE IN MACEDONIA AND THE BALKANS: 16 MARCH 2001 We in Macedonia are not facing not an imminent civil war but rather the possibility that irresponsible international media may incite more violence than the people with guns. The international press has been extremely provocative and irresponsible in this very sensitive situation. CNN has reported that Tetovo has "been taken by the 'rebels' who are advancing on Skopje." The BBC has also been broadcasting alarmist and unconfirmed reports. This is utter nonesense, and incredibly dangerous. It is also in direct contrast to the local media that is behaving with restraint and a sense of responsibility. An urgent call must be made to all international media to stop escalating the situation by putting out inflammatory and unfounded reports that will provoke people here to believe that their only resort is to join the violence. We are asking everyone to take a constructive role in this effort. Contact the editors of your influential media and demand that they consider what they say and how they say it: Stop fuelling the conflict! Thanks for your concern and support. Together we can have an immediate and invaluable impact on the future of Macedonia.
