LUKASHENKA TO RETALIATE AGAINST 'UNFRIENDLY' RUSSIAN MEDIA. Belarusian President Lukashenka on 21 June slammed Russian media, accusing them of biased coverage of the situation in Belarus. Speaking to reporters in Moscow at the end of a two-day visit, Lukashenka noted that some media are describing political events in Belarus "in an uncivilized and ugly way." He threatened to retaliate against "unfriendly" media outlets following the presidential elections in September. "I will tell you frankly. Even if there are many more provocations on the part of the Russian media, we will not take any action before the election. But after the election we will draw the necessary conclusions and decide who should work in Belarus, which television channels should work in Belarus," Lukashenka said. Earlier this month, four Russian television channels went off the air in Minsk for a day after ORT aired a program featuring four potential presidential candidates from the Belarusian opposition.

RSF PROTESTS SENTENCING OF JOURNALIST. In a letter to Minister of Justice Guenadi Vorontsov, Reporters sans Frontieres (RSF) protested the sentencing of Valery Schukin, journalist for the publications "Tovarisch" and "Narodnaja Volja", to three months' imprisonment.

"We ask that you release Valery Schukin without delay," added Menard. Schukin was jailed on 12 June. On 15 March, the journalist, who is also a member of parliament, was sentenced to three months' imprisonment for "vandalism", in accordance with Article 339/1 of the Penal Code, for having tried to enter, without permission, a press conference held by Minister of the Interior M.

LOWER HOUSE OVERRIDES PRESIDENTIAL VETO OF MEDIA LAW. The Chamber of Deputies on 26 June overrode President Vaclav Havel's veto of a new media law passed by the chamber in April, CTK and AP reported. Under the law, licenses of private television broadcasters will be automatically extended for 12 years and those of radio broadcasters for eight years, provided that they have not violated regulations. Only one extension will be permitted per license-holder. Havel had argued that the law would hamper free competition in radio and television broadcasting, since it favors current broadcasters over new broadcasters. The law was passed with a larger majority (135 out of the 176 deputies present) than in April, when it was supported by 128 lawmakers. Presidential spokesman Ladislav Spacek hinted that Havel may appeal to the Constitutional Court. ("RFE/RL Newsline," 27 June)

LEAFLETS SET OFF FEAR AMONG MACEDONIAN ALBANIANS. A purported group calling itself Macedonian Paramilitary 2000 has distributed leaflets in the Kvantashki Market area of Skopje threatening vigilante action by 26 June in what the text called "the longest night," "The Guardian" reported on 25 June. The leaflets said that after the deadline, "all the [Albanian] shops will be burned and if someone tries to protest, they will be killed with no warning." The leaflets added that "for every police officer or soldier killed, 100 Shiptars [ed.: a pejorative term] will be killed." A spokesman for the NGO Human Rights Watch told the daily that "the increased activity of these paramilitary groups is potentially the most dangerous development in this conflict, because it threatens to draw large segments of the population into the fighting." "The Times" commented on 26 June that "the Balkan curse of ethnic cleansing finally came to Macedonia yesterday." The daily noted that Albanians had left the area and that local Macedonian merchants displayed the leaflet in their windows, as the text instructed them to do. Fear was the motive for both groups.

PRESS FREEDOM THREATENED IN RUSSIA, IPI SAYS. The Vienna-based International Press Institute said on 27 June that it continues to be concerned by the state of press freedom in Russia, dpa reported.
