Macedonia rebels anchor open ended cease-fire bid
Macedonian leaders and ethnic Albanian rebels agreed to an open ended cease-fire brokered by NATO and the EU. The accord aims to disarm rebels and ease tensions hindering ethnic Albanian rights talks, with fighting continuing near Tetovo as the cease-fire loomed. NATO plans suggest 3,000 troops in mid month and disarmament to begin after site identification, potentially within four to six weeks.

Utah town proclaims itself a United Nations free zone
La Verkin Utah city leaders voted to declare a United Nations free zone and forbid UN insignia on city property or spending of city funds to support the world body. The largely symbolic ordinance requires UN supporters to post signs and file annual reports to the city. Virgin may consider a similar measure July 19. Community reaction is mixed with critics calling it unnecessary and the ACLU warning of constitutional issues.
