    UMD hopes the Macedonian Film Festival in Melbourne will succeed in protecting what is Macedonian and not allowing the Greeks use WIPO as an excuse for Macedonians not to be allowed to use the Star of Kutlesh.

    Here is what happened to us: http://www.greeknewsonline.com/?p=9651

    The Greeks got their Congressmen to write to the Visa CEO and our credit card with the Star was discontinued.

      I think some of our organisations must bring this issue over the symbol back in court and proceed until this WIPA argument gets into our hands.

        Why don't your Congressmen write a letter to the CEO as well and get your old credit card back?

          Just for the record, it was the 2nd Annual Macedonian Film Festival.

          We should probably thank them for helping to spread the word, it was quite successful.

              They are stealing everything, bit by bit, they are stealing our heritage, our identity and everything else.

                Dont worry Paul as much as they try the truth is never too far behind their behinds

                Macedonian we are not them.

                they exist in their own little space with Athens tier only audience and even that Greeks proper look at them differently

                  how ridiculous & silly it must be when they the greeks beleive their own bullshit propaganda
                  that macedonia is theirs & the real macedonia can't even use their own symbols & name.
