ROUNDUP OF NEWS FROM THE YUGOSLAV AREA. Vjesnik reported on 29
August that Croatian President Franjo Tudjman told Croatian TV on
27 August he still demanded that Serbia recognize Croatia in its
Tito-era borders. He also said that autonomy for Serbs in any
future arrangement would be limited to the Knin and Glina
districts, which are the only two where Serbs constituted a
majority before they began the "ethnic cleansing" of other areas.
He added, however, that Serbs everywhere would enjoy full civil
rights and that Croatia intended to solve the Krajina question by
peaceful means. The Sueddeutsche Zeitung noted on 29 August that
German Foreign Minister Klaus Kinkel had just visited Tudjman and
reminded him of the importance of observing minority rights and
freedom of the press, as well as of the need to avoid a war in
Krajina. Turning to Macedonia, Politika reported from Skopje that
officials there was willing to begin talks with Greece as soon as
possible rather than wait until after the autumn elections, as
some sources had suggested. Elsewhere, international media said
that Hungary has now recognized Macedonia.  Patrick Moore, RFE/RL,
