		The two mayors had not given the slightest indication that they would be willing to change their attitude; on the contrary they made it clear that they would continue to fly the Albanian flag.
		The most alarming aspect of the recent events in the FYR of Macedonia is in my view that the PDP-A leadership which has already in earlier conversations with me indicated its preference for "parallel institutions" on the Kosovo model and for civil disobedience, has clearly started to implement this approach in the last few months.
