Macedonians not convinced NATO will bring peace

Macedonians disagreed today over the prospects of a peace deal even as the country’s leaders took steps to allow Nato troops to disarm ethnic Albanian rebels.

Fighting has shaken Macedonia since February, when ethnic Albanian rebels took up arms to seek more rights for their community, which makes up one-third of the country’s population. Macedonians say the rebels want to seize a chunk of the country and call it their own.
