VERHEUGEN SAYS SLOVAK REFORMS PACE WILL DETERMINE EU
MEMBERSHIP. Guenter Verheugen, EU commissioner in charge of
enlargement, told journalists in Bratislava on 2 November
that there is no opposition in the EU to Slovakia's beginning
membership negotiations as early as 2000. He said the pace at
which Slovakia adopts the necessary reforms will determine
whether it is accepted as an EU member. Prime Minister
Mikulas Dzurinda said his country's strategic goal is to
catch up with the Czech Republic, Poland, and Hungary, and
become a member of the "fast track" group, CTK and AP
reported. Verheugen also said Slovakia must work hard in
reforming its civil service and other administrative sectors
as a precondition to EU membership. He praised the
government's decision to close down the two nuclear reactors
at Jaslovske Bohunice within the next decade. MS

MOSCOW SLAMS BUDAPEST OVER NUCLEAR WEAPONS COMMENT. Russian
Foreign Ministry spokesman Vladimir Rakhmanin told
journalists in Moscow on 2 November that Russia is "seriously
concerned" about Hungarian Premier Viktor Orban's recent
comment in an Canadian newspaper saying that NATO nuclear
weapons might be deployed on Hungarian territory in an
"emergency situation," Interfax reported. Those remarks,
Rakhmanin continued, are a "direct violation of the Russia-
NATO Founding Act, in which NATO countries confirmed they had
no intentions, plans, or causes to deploy weapons in the
territories of new members." He added that they also
"directly confirm Russia's concerns relating to NATO
enlargement." Orban had told the Canadian newspaper that the
alliance needs nuclear weapons "because of the uncertainties
around the future of Russia" (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 1
November 1999). MSZ
