Vatican City, Feb 26, 2004 / 22:00 pm
The Holy Father sent a telegram of condolence to the authorities of Macedonia upon the death of Boris Trajkovski, President of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, who was killed in a plane crash.
In the telegram, the Pope conveys his condolences to the government and to the people of Macedonia and prays that “President Trajkovski’s resolute commitment to peace will inspire the nation to continue steadfastly upon the path of dialogue, mutual respect and reconciliation.”
The text was sent through the Apostolic Nunciature in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
