      I believe her heritage was from Ohrid, very sad no doubt. Such a young lady 38 and she achieved so much in her life.
      МАКЕДОНЕЦ си кога кавал ќе ти ја распара душата,зурла ќе ти го раскине срцето,кога секое влакно од кожата ќе ти се наежи кога ќе видиш шеснаесеткрако сонце,кога до коска ќе те заболи кога ќе слушнеш ПЈРМ,кога немаш ни за леб,а полн си во душата затоа што ја сакаш МАКЕДОНИЈА. МАКЕДОНИЈА во срце те носиме.

        UMD Conference 2011

        Once again you've failed badly to address past concerns. People from out of town have ZERO opportunity for sightseeing as an entire group. MUST BE A 4 DAY CONFERENCE WITH DAY ONE "FUN"

          Action Alert: Help Save the BBC Macedonian Service

          The British Broadcasting Service (BBC) announced last week that they would cut five language services in order to cut costs. The five language programs are Albanian, Macedonian, Serbian, the English service for the Caribbean region and Portuguese for Africa.

          UMD urges you to help us save the BBC Macedonian Service.

          Macedonians worldwide and friends of Macedonia, headed by Macedonia’s first president Kiro Gligorov, advocated in 1995 for BBC to begin a Macedonian Service and on January 8, 1996, BBC started the first ever Macedonian Service. Since then, BBC Macedonian Service has reached millions of Macedonians worldwide and friends of Macedonia bringing us the news of the day in the Macedonian language not only in Macedonia, but to the world through the internet. The BBC Macedonian Service’s budget is only a little over 400,000 pounds, and does not represent much in the 54 million pounds BBC hopes to save through these cuts.

          While UMD understands that the cutting of the BBC Macedonian Service is due to budget reasons, for us it will be the end of the existence of a small but extremely dynamic and editorial staff.

          “During our 15 years of existence, with various programmes from music to news and current affairs, we worked tirelessly to give our audiences the best journalism the BBC could provide. And to do that in one of the world’s most beautiful languages, Macedonian, the basis for the Cyrillic alphabet and the Slavic languages around the world,” said Zaneta Skerlev, head of the BBC Macedonian Service today for UMD.

          Other quotes from fellow Macedonians about the BBC Macedonian Service:

          “In the last 15 years, radio programmes in the Macedonian language, broadcast from London, had a very important role in objective and regular reporting about events, features, stories and people from Europe and all over the world. It had been very important for the citizens of Macedonia: first because they were getting all-important information about everyday events in their native language, and second: because it was an opportunity for Macedonian to be heard in programmes broadcast from abroad.”

          “I can honestly hope that the authorities in the World Service, who broadcast programmes for 240 million people in the world, and have exceptional respect and trustworthiness, will reconsider once again the decision and will enable further functioning of the Macedonian section.”

          - Kiro Gligorov, first President of Macedonia

          "The broadcasts of the BBC WS in Macedonian language represented a real added value to the development of the Macedonian media space. I reckon that the Service left a good mark and I have no doubt it will be remembered by the good work it has done. I am also convinced that the BBC itself acknowledges the strong contribution that has been made by the Macedonian Service to the overall performance of the company. BBC Macedonian is going to remain a positive sentiment for us - a sentiment of a small and proud People which is a part of the European culture.”

          - Antonio Milososki, current Minister of Foreign Affairs of Macedonia

          "I received the news with great sadness. On the one hand it is clear to me why this is being done - these last few years we have been aware of the restructuring process within the BBC and the serious budget cuts. I am aware of the crisis that the British economy is facing. However, personally, I feel sorrow that such outstanding journalistic craftsmen are now going to be leaving the BBC. In a more general sense - we are losing a very important cultural, political and informational link between the two states, languages and cultures.”

          - Goran Stefanovski, Macedonian writer based in the UK and Lecturer in Drama at Canterbury University

            UMD Deplores Actions by Bulgarian State Agency of National Security to Stamp Down on Media Freedom

            The United Macedonian Diaspora (UMD) issued a statement today deploring actions by the Bulgarian State Agency of National Security (acronym DANS) to stamp down on freedom of the media and urging Bulgaria to respect the civil rights of their sizable Macedonian minority. UMD believes this attack on freedom of the media coincides with today’s start of the Bulgarian Census and is a direct effort to minimize the amount of Bulgarian citizens to report themselves as Macedonians

              mmmmm BBC yeah they have done a great justice over the years for Macedonia, they have called us fyrom and slavs for around 20 years on countless accations, they have aired and re-aired countless of Anti Macedonian propaganda, they have written countless of poorly written biased articles, they even had the balls to take the Shiptar side during the war...Damn those evil Slav Macedonians they are evil spit spit spit

              Who in their right mind would view a BBC website to gain up to date news on Macedonia, you may as well log onto A1....

                I dont want to save the BBC in fact the Macedonian government needs to stop the airing of Radio Free Europe in Macedonia too, RFE is a propaganda mouse piece of Washington, and again on the BBC I hate them.

                I will never forgot their demonising of us never.

                  UMD, the BBC is anti Macedonian and pro Greek and you openly support the damage they've caused over the years with their racist reports? Soros, Crvenkovski and A1 are also huge supporters so you have good company.

                      BBC Macedonian Service is not anti-Macedonian and pro-Greek.

                      What racist reports did the BBC Macedonian Service publish?

                                UMD, confuses even themselves to the point they forget what they support and what they don't. The more they post the more of a joke the organization becomes .. sit on the fence and hope to hell you don't fall off one day.

                                UMD is an NGO or MORE LIKE A POLITICAL PARTY? BROKEN PROMISES AND ON-GOING ERRORS
