Ohrid Summit
17 Heads of State at Ohrid Summit, April 30, 2008
The 15th Summit of Central Europe Heads of State will be held in Ohrid on May 2-3. A total of 17 state presidents will take part at the largest gathering in Macedonia since its independence, whereas Romania and Italy will be represented by ambassadors.
According to President Branko Crvenkovski, Italian counterpart Giorgio Napolitano is involved in the process of composing the new government, while Romanian President Traian Basescu has domestic commitments.
ertaining to Kosovo representatives, Crvenkovski said that Macedonia, being the host-country, cannot invite a state towards which it has not built an official stance, and since some of the participant-countries have recognized Kosovo's independence, others not, the consensus on the issue was unattainable.
