Prolet, UMD is working to increase bilateral relations between other countries and Macedonia. In this context, we hope these countries will recognize Macedonia by its constitutional name. Getting more Western EU countries to recognize Macedonia will be tough, for sure, just like the United States and Canada were tough.
UMD will do its best to help with Portugal and Spain. The former Spanish Ambassador to Washington, D.C., Ambassador Javier Ruperez's wife is Macedonian. Macedonia has no diplomatic representation in Portugal, and only one person (Ambassador Belevski) in Spain who also covers Andorra.
Regarding Central and South America, this will be also tough. The Foreign Ministry of the Hellenic Republic plugs in a lot of money in these regions and in the Organization of American States. Greece is a permanent observer of the OAS. So is Bulgaria and Serbia. See: http://www.oas.org/en/states/permanent_observers.asp Every event UMD has been invited to by the OAS has been co-sponsored or supported by the Foreign Ministry of the Hellenic Republic. UMD encourages Macedonia to become a permanent observer of the OAS and work through this system to gain more support from Central and South American countries.
