Statement by Press Secretary Fitzwater on the Macedonia Recognition 
Dispute

July 3, 1992
    The President strongly supports early resolution of the dispute over 
recognition of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. In this 
connection, we welcome efforts of the European Community to find a 
solution, including those taken at the June 29 summit. The United States 
would support any solution that is acceptable to the parties themselves. 
The United States therefore stands ready to do what it can, in support 
of European Community efforts, to help the parties solve this problem so 
that they can get on with a normal relationship.
