United Macedonia Diaspora

[Serdarot]

TM, I agree with you that MANU is a farce, its a communist organization that has done nothing good for our people. If you watched the interview with Blaze Ristevski he explains that for months in advance not one person had a problem with it and it only became a problem once it was issued in the public. It was a premeditated attack by the Albanians, they knew about the Encyclopedia for years and what it was written before it was made public.

maybe that was the purpose?

to be published in exactly that moment, to start new wave of hatered and maybe violence? (that happened, the fights between young Macedonians and Albanians were getting serious in the last weeks, police had to intervene several times in Tetovo, as i am informed.

Such a CRUSHAL project as National Encyclopedia is not prepared and not published "just like that"

I have serious doubts about the motives of some of those who were involved in the whole "theater"...

Bratot, I agree with you buddy i have the same thoughts too

Unfortunately, there is still no genuine reply from any UMD representative. They keep on accusing anybody who queries any of their policies of being an enemy of UMD, but they are being the UMD's own worst enemies with this type of behaviour.

Aleksandrov, This is something i do not agree with, you have every right to ask questions and i fully respect that. I fully support asking questions provided they are not personal attacks ofcourse.

UMD, Care to answer his question? Im sure you have a valid response.

[Risto the Great]

To me its pretty black and white. A global network working towards the Macedonian cause, with the ability to spread the Macedonian voice in Washington...

Yes, there is a strong need for such an organisation.

[Volk]

Yes, there is a strong need for such an organisation.

Then helping build it is more productive than trying to destroying it?

[Risto the Great]

You mentioned "A global network working towards the Macedonian cause". You would have to define the Macedonian Cause. Then you have to be sure they are working towards it. I have inquired about both of these issues to "Team UMD" and could not get anything close to an answer. When does one stop flogging a dead horse Volk?

[Volk]

I think the cause is pretty self evident:

1. Recognition of Macedonian name, nation, history and culture.
2. Strengthening Macedonia, politically, economically and militarily
3. Preserving point 1
4. Justice for the people of all occupied Macedonian lands (Na eden nacin ili drug)
5. Restoring the dignity of the Macedonian people
6. Defending the Macedonian Nation from aggression

Nesto sto zaboravas e samo deka UMD si gi pazi zborovite, odnosno deka diplomatski zborat ne znaci deka oni ne se za najmalku pogolem del od gornite tocki. Toa e moj zaklucok od niv.

[Risto the Great]

Take a look at our definition and let us know where you differ. I like the military strength part .... it is a worthy consideration. We need more input.

Please remember I made public pleas 18 months ago for people to join the UMD. I was quite successful in convincing others to do it ... I have no desire, yet no choice to maintain this level of criticism now.

[Serdarot]

Yes, there is a strong need for such an organisation.

sign on this

we need (real)VMRO-based (the structure and the goals) global network

now, i have few questions, but i will be happy if i get answer on this one:

Anyone knows what was the difference between Kote od Rulja and Lazo Pop Trajko?

it is VERY connected with this and any other topic concidering this issue, i will come on that later

I don’t really know the umd’s past so I cannot defend their past but apart from having a cool name one can defend the umd from the point of view that we need a world wide organisation to promote Macedonian interests otherwise we will be countless small organisation without any real clout to do anything or be taken seriously by anyone. If there is a problem with the umd then the bulk of the members would not be predavci and soon remove anyone behaving inappropriately. After all this is not the Macedonian government and has no legal right to change the name. by this I mean if anyone behaves inappropriately there is time to remove them before they have a chance to do something irrevocable. The size and global reach of the organisation is important. If there are problems with the organisation we should be looking at ways to fix it probably from within rather than thinking of them as failed organisation or abandoning them. Unless there is something better they’re it. As the saying goes ne plukaj vo stario bunar duri ne znajs dali ima voda vo noviot.

Macedonia row to threaten bid for seat on Security Council

MACEDONIA'S vote on Australia's bid for a UN Security Council seat will hinge on how the Rudd government responds to an official complaint over a pro-Greek speech given by South Australian Premier Mike Rann.

The Macedonian embassy in Canberra will today lodge a formal protest over the speech in which Mr Rann accused Macedonia of stealing Greek history and culture and its President, Gjorge Ivanov, of "stirring up trouble" with its neighbour. Mr Rann made the remarks in November.

Macedonian ambassador Pero Stojanovski said he was seeking a formal explanation and apology.

Asked if Mr Rann's comments could affect Macedonia's vote in the UN on Australia's bid for a non-permanent seat on the Security Council, Mr Stojanovski said: "The answer to this question would greatly depend on the official response by the Australian government."

Mr Rann was unrepentant yesterday. "I totally stand by my comments . . . absolutely no apologies whatsoever," he said.

Thank you MP_MK for posting the article here so our readers can have easy access to it.

Why would Macedonia vote for Australia anyway? They don't recognize us.
