"No, it is not the critic who counts. Not the one who points out how a strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and may come up short, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails daring greatly." - Theodore Roosevelt

When I said, for a joke, to a greek friend of mine who was planning to buy some land, many years ago, on a greek island near Turkey, that this was a dangerous thing to do because Turkey could occupy the island and he could loose property of the land, he answered, very seriously, that there is only one place in Greece where he would NEVER buy anything and that is in Egejska. He is a very smart guy!

i would like to see umd hold elections asap. i also would like to know what is the umds relationship with metos political buddies in washington.From the village of P’pezhani, Tashko Popov, Dimitar Popov-Skenderov and Todor Trpenov were beaten and sentenced to 12 years prison. Pavle Mevchev and Atanas Popov from Vrbeni and Boreshnica joined them in early 1927, they were soon after transferred to Kozhani and executed. As they were leaving Lerin they were heard to shout "With our death, Macedonia will not be lost. Our blood will run, but other Macedonians will rise from it"

ha ha ha i got home just in time to catch you twisting things again. i saw it and heard it. he said its thanks to organisations like umd that U.S. recognises macedonia. you are making yourself look silly. umd was hardly formed when bush recognised macedonia and it had nothing to do with umd.

This is the point that many of you born again UMD apologists seem to be missing. The role of such organizations is to act outside of the restrictions or pressures that are applied on Governments, unless of course UMD is really a branch of the Macedonian Government or unless they represent the views of a foreign government like the USA.
Prolet, the reason organizations like the EU are applying pressure on Macedonia is because of our piss weak and corrupt officials and our equally inept representative organizations who are willing to entertain name changes and identity changes, this merely provides a path of least resistance for our enemies to channel all their energies through.
Well there are two sides to the story Phoenix, they are hanging on you could say that but if they were weak they would have changed the name before the 2008 summit in Bucharest. With a weak Diaspora i think that wont help our cause, lets see what happens the pressure will rise from here and the Government will be put to the test. So what do you suggest we do as a community? Wait to see how long Gruevski can take before he cracks or start lobbying world wide,look for support, count on friends who will back us on the name issue??
Let me ask you this question, Do you think our chances of getting name recognition will improve if we open up an office in Canberra and have people there who will lobby with the Australian MP's?? Meto perfectly stated that the UMD will not interfere it will only help. The UMD will not be the leaders of our community in Australia.МАКЕДОНЕЦ си кога кавал ќе ти ја распара душата,зурла ќе ти го раскине срцето,кога секое влакно од кожата ќе ти се наежи кога ќе видиш шеснаесеткрако сонце,кога до коска ќе те заболи кога ќе слушнеш ПЈРМ,кога немаш ни за леб,а полн си во душата затоа што ја сакаш МАКЕДОНИЈА. МАКЕДОНИЈА во срце те носиме.

The sole responsible to deal with the name issue is the legally elected government of Macedonia. Macedonian governments in the past signed agreements in UN and EU or whereever and not macedonian NGOs. How can an organization like UMD be accounted as "responsible' for any possible name change of the state of Macedonia, even if it has (I do not know if it is so) expressed a pro-compromise idea on the name issue. The entire opposition in the Macedonian Parliament is pro-compromise and nobody here is worried about it!
