Macedonia: Filling the Security Vacuum
September 8, 2001
Abstract
This briefing paper continues ICG's analysis of the Macedonian crisis. It covers the period from the signing of a political agreement by the contending parties on 13 August 2001 through the start of the NATO mission to collect NLA arms, to the 6 September 2001 agreement by Macedonia's parliament to begin consideration of the promised constitutional and legislative reforms. It focuses on the still tangled and unsettled internal Macedonian political scene and on the international community's need to address the dangerous security vacuum that will arise unless an adequate follow-on force can be agreed once NATO's limited present mission is completed.
