Brussels, 28/08/2001 (Agence Europe) - Having, before the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament, briefly recalled the latest events in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), Belgian Foreign Minister Louis Michel, placed special emphasis ion the need to secure implementation of the agreement reached between the Macedonian and the ethnic Albanian minority parties. "It is obvious that this agreement is fragile and that we shall have to remain vigilant", he said before adding: "I don not feel like opening a debate on whether it is 3500, 9000 or 60,000 weapons that need collecting". And, while recognising that there was "a risk of a slide off the tracks at any moment", he said: "We say that peace will come walking (…) I believe that there was no way of doing better than that".
