A quote from Meto's letter in UMD Voice which basically summarises his entire worldview:

Quote:
To achieve on of our broadest goals of strengthening and protecting Macedonian culture, the Macedonian people cannot do it alone.

I had to use that for my signature because I can't believe he said that for the entire world to see.

Jewish community condemns Nazi attack

Click here for original copy of press release: http://umdiaspora.org/images/JCCVAltonaSoccerAttack.pdf

The Jewish Community Council of Victoria is appalled by the racism and wanton destruction of property in the attack on the Altona Magic Soccer Club on Tuesday 3rd May.

During the attack, ten-grave shaped holes were dug into the pitch, the locker rooms were demolished, equipment was vandalised, Australian and Macedonian flags were burnt and Nazi swastikas and the Greek flag were spray-painted on the pitch.

JCCV president John Searle, condemned the attack in the strongest possible terms saying it was “unwarranted and cowardly”. Searle went on to say “I am disgusted by the attack on the Altona Magic Soccer Club. The use of the Swastikas and linkages to the treatment of the Macedonians during the war is heinous, let alone the digging of graves which portrays a very disturbed mind in the perpetrators. This blatant Neo-Nazi attack is intolerable and must be condemned by all in Melbourne and throughout the world.

“The Jewish community is always concerned by any sign of racism and this attack is very disturbing in its intentions. Our sympathies go the Macedonian and Greek communities who must be repelled by these reminders of a dark time.”

The Jewish anti-racism organisation, the Anti-Defamation Commission also condemned the attack.

ADC chairman Anton Block said all Australians needed to defend our respectful multicultural society.

"The attack on the Macedonian soccer club is a hateful assault on all of us. All Australian minorities have the right to enjoy their own clubs and cultures without fear of this kind of attack."

I didn't watch the video, just talking about the stuff that is happening all over Macedonia and Skopje.

A positive story from start to end

[fyrOM]

Sometime you have to promote yourself and 'toot your own horn' eg job interview, but it is better if someone else does it for you, always leading to a happy ending.

It is good to see such videos are being made but disappointing they are not played more widely eg Australia.

fyrOM I see you as a bit of a self promoter and definately a blower of horns

Yeah well, at least I don't suck-up peoples' arses' and agree with them just because of their position/authority even if it means clutching at straws to put someone down when there's nothing to put down, but then again dogs do sniff each others' behind when they greet each other and only the rabid/zbesnati ones sniff/suck harder.

Even if the Phoenix gets reborn from the fire 10 times or a thousand times you cannot outwit me in trading insults so quit while you are behind

The United States' first Ambassador to Macedonia, Christopher R. Hill will receive the distinguished UMD Macedonia Friendship Award at the 3rd Annual UMD Global Conference, celebrating 20 years of Macedonia's Independence from June 23-25, 2011 at the J.W. Marriott in Washington, D.C.

As the first U.S. Ambassador to Macedonia, Ambassador Hill was instrumental in advancing U.S.-Macedonia relations and assisting Macedonia on its path to Euro-Atlantic integration when the country faced enormous challenges. His tireless efforts will never be forgotten by the global Macedonian community.

The UMD Macedonia Friendship Award is given to individuals who have been long-standing friends of Macedonia. During Ambassador Hill's time as U.S. Ambassador to Macedonia, he established the U.S. Embassy in Skopje, which paved the way for the current excellent cooperation between these two nations. Ambassador Hill assisted Macedonia to develop and maintain its international position during difficult times in the Balkans by working closely with Macedonia's leadership to keep the country out of the Kosovo war and to address the refugee/humanitarian spillover in Macedonia. His important efforts were exceptionally noteworthy.
