Mr. Frowick works for the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe, but it has been stated by senior diplomatic sources in the EU that it would have been impossible for him to negotiate with the Albanians without the cover of the US State Department or other US entities. However, all official departments in the USA have disowned Mr. Frowick. The connection between the US Congress and the Albanians has long been known and the interference of Mr. Frowick, behind the backs of his European partners and the Slav parties in the Macedonian government, nearly created a rift in Skopje which could have sent the armed conflict in Macedonia into full-scale civil war. This would come in line with what can be identified easily as the main guidelines of US foreign policy destabilise through armed conflict, sell weapons, loan money and create economic dependence. However, Javier Solana managed to salvage the government of National Unity with a joint declaration reneging the accord which Mr. Frowick had brokered. This was the Prizren Document, signed on 22nd May, which sought to find a consensus between the armed Albanian terrorists of the NLA and the Albanian political parties in Skopje, without taking into account the position of the two Slavic Macedonian parties, which represent 66% of the population of Macedonia. Mr. Solana stated that The status of the Prizren document in question is no longer relevant. Yet again, a case of intrusion, an attempt to create instability. Yet again, a case of a total lack of understanding of the real issues involved on the ground in a foreign theatre of war. US foreign policy these days lurches from one disaster to the next. It is reminiscent of a Laurel and Hardy movie, with Laurel saying Thats another fine mess you got me into, Stanley!
