MOLDOVA, MACEDONIA PLEDGE TO STEP UP COOPERATION
Moldovan President Vladimir Voronin and his Macedonian counterpart Branko Crvenkovski agreed on 21 February to cooperate in their respective efforts to join the European Union, Makfax reported the same day. "Although no great distance lies between the two countries, they know very little of each other, and the cooperation is far below the potential," Crvenkovski and Voronin said in a joint statement after a meeting in Skopje. Crvenkovski noted that annual trade between the two countries totals just $400,000. Voronin said he is grateful that Macedonia is prepared to share its experience with Chisinau in the Euro-Atlantic integration process. // RFE/RL
