GENOA, Italy. July 21 (Interfax) - A senior Kremlin
aide said on Saturday that the current crisis in
Macedonia had its roots in NATO's air strikes against Yugoslavia in
1999.
��� The crisis is the result of "systematic mistakes
that date back to the period of the bombings of
Yugoslavia," Sergei Prikhodko, deputy chief of the
Russian president's staff, told reporters. "We are now
reaping the fruit of that action," he said.
��� Prikhodko said Russian President Vladimir Putin
received a letter on Friday from Macedonian President
Boris Trajkovski setting out Macedonia's position on
the crisis, assessing Russia's role in settlement
efforts and asking the Russian leader to back the
Macedonian leadership. [RU EUROPE EEU EMRG VIO MK DIP
