Macedonian President Branko Crvenkovski was in Bulgaria today when he addressed the border issue with Kosovo. After meeting his Bulgarian counterpart Georgy Prvanov, he "warned neighboring Kosovo that its ultimatum on a border dispute bodes ill for bilateral relations", the AP reports. Macedonia: Pristina's ultimatum "bodes ill" "I have proposed to my government not to address the Kosovo authorities, but rather the international institutions, which, as it seems, are to stay there for a quite a long time," Crvenkovski said. Macedonia's northern border with Kosovo has never been officially delineated since the former Yugoslav republic gained independence in 1991. Macedonia says authorities in Pristina are laying claim to some 2,000 hectares of its territory. Kosovo Albanians has never recognized a border agreement signed in 2001 between Macedonia and Serbia, the agency explains. When Yugoslavia broke apart in the 1990s, the administrative boundaries between republics became recognized as international borders.
