- THE WEEK, Page 29WORLDWhat's Left of Yugoslavia?
-
-
- Serbia and Montenegro, that's what. The 12-member European
- Community and the U.S. have recognized the independence of the
- former Yugoslav republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The E.C.
- recognized Slovenia and Croatia last January, and Washington has
- now followed suit. And while Macedonia has declared its
- independence, the E.C. has not yet recognized it out of
- deference to Greece, which also contains a region it calls
- Macedonia and fears that an independent state could lay claim
- to some parts of Greek territory. The White House said the U.S.
- would coordinate its plans with the E.C. to recognize Macedonia,
- possibly as early as next month.
