MACEDONIA CRITICIZES ALBANIA OVER MINORITY BROADCASTS. In a statement
sent to "RFE/RL Newsline" on 26 July, the Macedonian Broadcasting
Council protested to Albania's National Council for Radio and
Television that Radio Korca has stopped broadcasting its program for
the ethnic Macedonian minority (see "RFE/RL Balkan Report," 27 July
2001). The broadcast has not, in fact, been aired for some months. The
statement notes the extent to which Albanian-language programs are
broadcast by Macedonian Radio and Television, as well as by private
broadcasters in Macedonia. The statement calls on Albania to "provide
[comprehensive] implementation of internationally accepted standards
of electronic media" at a time when both countries seek "to become
part of the Euro-Atlantic integration process." PM
