Macedonia, as previously reported, will sign a strategic partnership with the United States.

According to sources from the Macedonian Government provided to MINA, similar type of agreement US has only with the state of Israel. Macedonia will be the second country on the planet to enter into such partnership. According to our source, the agreement will guarantee the security of Macedonia as well as provide material and military help for the Macedonian Army.

Unofficially, the United States is considering canceling the Visa requirements for Macedonian citizens.

There are no words one can express for the gratitude Macedonian citizens feel towards the United States and President George W Bush for all of its unwavering support through difficult times. /end/MINA
