UMD's handing out another Goce Delcev award:

The United Macedonian Diaspora (UMD) is proud to announce that His Excellency Janez Jansa, the Prime Minister of Slovenia, will be presented with UMD’s highest honor – the UMD Goce Delchev Award – at a Gala, this Saturday, May 19, 2012, in honor of His Excellency Dr. Gjorge Ivanov, the President of Macedonia, in advance of the NATO Summit in Chicago.

Apparantly every Macedonian in Slovenia is happy about this:

The Macedonian community of Slovenia, estimated between 17,000 – 20,000, applauded UMD’s decision today.

And UMD is still trying to speak on our behalf:

The global Macedonian Diaspora community is extremely grateful for Prime Minister Jansa’s courageous leadership in international affairs and close friendship with Macedonia.

Apparantly Jansa has had an impact on all of us:

The UMD Board of Directors unanimously selected Prime Minister Jansa as the second recipient of this Award, for his impact on Macedonia and Macedonians globally.

Tom,Correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't it slovenia that sided with the greeks & stopped the trade in macedonian wine in slovenia because it used the words Macedonia.If the people knew what was going on they wouldn't be giving out such shitty awards.They should be called sold out awards because that's what they are.I can't remember when slovenia did something for macedonia in the international affairs.
This is the bs quote of the century & it takes the cake://global Macedonian Diaspora community is extremely grateful for Prime Minister Jansa’s courageous leadership in international affairs and close friendship with Macedonia. " very insulting to say the least as not many of us would be too happy with slovenia.Once again the UMD has sold us out lock stock & barrel!

I am not sure if Janez Jansa has made any negative statements towards Macedonia. I know he has shown support for Gruevski and his party in the past. Does anybody know what good he has done for Macedonia?

[George S.]

All i could find is that Macedonia & slovenia have been allies since 1992.Also that Slovenia recognizes macedonia & supports Macedonia to get into Nato & & Eu & for
suporting slovenian companies to trade with macedonian companies.But how about the wine fiasco with greece stopping trade of macedonian wine between macedonia & slovenia Greece telling slovenia to stop.
So that's why they got an award for being our supposed friend.They get the Gotse delchev Award.TOP AWARD from the umd.
Even then as SOM says that it was for political support of gruevski it's like a payback.I wonder if these Gotse delchev awards are really as valuable as they claim top award .Do they open doors???

Flexibility Urged In Macedonia Dispute
Skopje _ It would be a pity if Macedonia misses its chance to join NATO because of the name dispute with Greece, Slovenia's Prime Minister said Tuesday.
After meeting his Greek counterpart, Kostas Karamanlis in Ljubljana, Janez Jansa, the Prime Minister of Slovenia, which currently holds the European Union Presidency, called for “a quick compromise” to the 17 year long dispute.

He urged both Athens and Skopje to agree to a name for the Republic of Macedonia, which would "best" prevent a Greek veto of Macedonia's bid to join NATO.

Meanwhile Macedonia’s President Branko Crvenkovski wrote to all 26 NATO members Tuesday, urging them “not to let Greek threats of a veto come true."

When Slovenia was the head of the EU in the late 2000's, Janez Jansa the supposed "friend" of macedonia had the chance to actually help macedonia "solve" the name issue fairly, but instead towed the racist grik and EU line and forced macedonia to make "concessions".

Im not really sure you can call this person a friend of macedonia, but then again when you give the much respected and sort after Goce Delcev award to such flogs like Kiro Gligorov and Phil Reeker, it doesnt suprise me that this EU slave/puppet gets one as well

I cant remember when exactly Slovenia banned macedonian wines from entering its country and took the grik side, but it wouldnt suprise me if it happened during Jansa's turn in government. And even if it didnt im sure he must have set the ball rolling for it anyway.

Interesting find BBS. It fits with UMD's views on the negotiations.

[Soldier of Macedon]

There you go. Another foreign moron calling on Macedonia to change its name. And the UMD are giving him an award. Meto, you're either a traitor or a complete idiot.

[George S.]

So what do these awards mean to someone getting them jack shit.It just proves what a hollow award it is & the very people getting them has done nothing for macedonia.Meto is just trying to build himself an organization that syphons money of the suckers membership & says yay to everything.Just a fundraising masquarade & people at the top living the high life.Probably doesn't give one iota about macedonia.But they'll do anything to pretend they are helping the macedonian cause.The macedonian cause is not per se the real one but their pockets cause.

Jeez, what does one have to do to get a UMDelcev award?
Lets make a top 10 ...

1. Insist Macedonia changes its name.
2. Steal from the Macedonian coffers.
3. Sign traitorous agreements.
4. Drink 10+ Starbuck coffees a day
... I give up, I'm disgusted.
