Joseph with President of the Republic of Macedonia Branko Crvenkovski writes that Washington should immediately send a decisive mes- and Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski. sage to Moscow as regards the situation in Georgia by convincing NATO to invite Macedonia to join the alliance. Joseph underlined that, by inviting Macedonia to join now, NATO would be sending a three-part message. First, that it is determined to continue on the path of enlargement and that it would not let spoilers from inside or outside the alliance deter this process. Second, this would be a message about the integrity of small states. And third, it would be a clear signal about the West’s intolerance for “frozen conflicts”. Asking how Greece could be convinced that NATO’s solidarity is more important than the name of its neighbor, Joseph proposes a few possible ways for admission of the Republic of Macedonia to NATO, like admission under the temporary reference, in accordance with the Interim Accord signed by Skopje and Athens in year 1995. He notes that this temporary reference is humiliating to Macedonia, but that it is accepted as the price of admission to NATO. ASSEMBLY ADOPTS RESOLUTION ON “We held a serious and constructive discussion and we discussed REFUGEES FROM MILITARY ACTIONS IN some possibilities for resolving of this issue. I have clear signals with regards to what is possible and what not, and now I have a very good REPUBLIC OF GREECE DURING CIVIL WAR formulation from Skopje,” Nimetz said after the separate meetings. AND SECOND WORLD WAR He noted that there is no time limit for the talks, but he stressed that On 27 August the Assembly of the Republic of Macedonia carried the current period is important and that the opportunity for finding by acclamation the Resolution on the Refugees from the Military a resolution in this period should not be missed. Actions in the Republic of Greece during the Civil War and Second “We did not reach an agreement with Mr. Nimetz. I told him that World War. The resolution was proposed by 11 parliamentarians the best thing would be for him to think about this one more time and from all political parties.

The Tate Gallery buys from him 3(three) paintings from the 50's and rushes to make things better, including him in rel- evant exhibitions of British art. Last 10 year of his life, D.
