EU backs new NATO-led force for Macedonia
European Union foreign ministers called for a smaller NATO-led force to remain in Macedonia to protect OSCE observers when NATO's "Essential Harvest" operations end on 26 September. The EU ministers rejected a proposal by the EU's special envoy to Macedonia, François Léotard, that the EU should send in its own force to oversee the return of over 70,000 displaced persons.
