Visit by President Boris Trajkovski of Macedonia
President Bush has invited President Boris Trajkovski of Macedonia for
a meeting at the White House on May 2. Macedonia, a
democratic and multi-ethnic state in the Balkans, is a good friend and
partner to the United States and plays an important role in support of
US and NATO operations in Kosovo. The visit will underscore
the United States' strong endorsement of President Trajkovski's efforts
to broaden the inter-ethnic dialogue in Macedonia and resolve
peacefully the current insurgency there. Secretary Powell delivered
the invitation from President Bush during his meeting with President
Trajkovski in Skopje on April 12.
