United Macedonian Diaspora
Condemns Terrorist
Attacks on Vratnica Police Station
July 12, 2005
The United Macedonian Diaspora condemns the recent terrorist
attacks by Albanian militants on the police station in the Macedonian
town of Vratnica in the early hours of July 12, 2005.
In recent weeks, Albanian militant groups have been regrouping
in the villages of Kondovo, Brest, and Tanushevci and have threatened
to terrorize the citizens of Macedonia once again in their pursuit
of creating a Greater Albania.
The coalition government led by the Social Democratic Union
of Macedonia and the Democratic Union for Integration of the
Republic of Macedonia has done everything in its power to fully
implement the Ohrid Framework Agreement.
Macedonia grants full civil rights to its minority groups and
is an example to the rest of the Balkans and the world in its
fight to end human discrimination and provide civil rights.
The United Macedonian Diaspora calls upon the coalition government
of the Republic of Macedonia to stand strong against these militant
groups and to not allow these groups to destabilize Macedonia
and the wider Balkan region. The responsible parties for this
terrorist act should be brought to justice. Further, all political
parties in Macedonia should condemn such extremist behavior.
The United Macedonian Diaspora ("UMD") is an international
organization whose mission is to address the interests and needs
of Macedonians and Macedonian communities throughout the world.
With headquarters in Washington, D.C., the UMD has affiliate
offices around the world including New York, Los Angeles, Toronto,
London, Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, Skopje, and Bitola.
