HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR REFUGEES KRIS JANOWSKI SAYING: "Essentially the situation you asked about Macedonia, the field at Blace has been entirely evacuated, there is noone left there. We know only about 25,000 people have been taken to a transit centre nearby, which was put up with NATO's help in the last few days. We do not know what happened to the rest of the people. Nobody ever counted the people at Blace but there were probably about 60,000 in all so the rest of the people must have been taken somewhere else. We have heard rumours about them being taken to Albania by train or by bus, about some of them being (AUDIO HIT ON TAPE) of the country, others being bused out of the country, we really do not know where these people have been taken." 2.57 11.
