Macedonia can do with less traitors and your type of 'friends', you vassal.

I doubt it. A long time ago I would have put it down to ignorance, now I know his stupidy is calculated and deliberate.

Vangelovski - you may wish to note that his book was written in 1999. Read the Johns Hopkins University lecture quotes of Holbrooke - it proves a changed view, which is applaudable.

HOW was he a friend of Macedonia? What specifically? Surely you don't mean that extract in your PR? Did he attempt to reverse any of the damage he caused to Macedonia?

Yes, the book was published in 1999 and the views presented there are atrocious - why is UMD (other than trying to make some money) promoting that book?

Answer the previous questions if you don't want to continue being viewed as a spineless vassal.

So there's going to be 40 American companies going to make money out of Macedonia?
How about organising a meeting of 40 Macedonian companies in Macedonia in order for Macedonians to make money from other countries?

Baba and Dedo in Macedonia Need Your Help This Winter

Each year, the United Macedonian Diaspora (UMD) organizes a donation from the diaspora community for Macedonia. This year, our goal is to help the elderly who reside in the senior citizen’s homes throughout Macedonia.

"In the past, we have coordinated donations to orphanages and to hospitals, and this year we want to address another segment that is not talked about much - the elderly in Macedonia,” said UMD Board Member and Charitable Efforts Coordinator Aleksandra Trpkovska. "Many of us in the diaspora miss our grandparents in Macedonia. Some of them may live with families, while some of them live at senior citizens' homes. We want to reach out to the ones that are not with their families this holiday season and let them know we haven't forgotten about them. They are somebody's Baba and Dedo."
