The Town is all Macedonian but very pro-Serb[/QUOTE]I don't want to start a conversation that is not related to Albanianization in Macedonia, but i must mention this. And if there is a thread where this belongs, please advise me and i will change it. But its great bit of history.

The town holds "Mihajlo Idvorski Pupin" in high regards. I watched a doco were i think they have some type of council, or committee named after him, i am not exactly sure, but it was something official. Infact, they have a picture of him on their currency. After googling this name, i realised he was a Serb, which then led me to think mabe they are pro Serb. Mihajlo Idvorski Pupin's parents home is in vevcani area and is a tourist attraction. So then i thought, mabe its purely business that they worship Pupin so much.

But further research, i came across this, After a secret London agreement France, England and Russia asked from Serbia some territorial concessions to Romania and Bulgaria. Romania should have gotten Banat and [B]Bulgaria should have gotten a part of Macedonia all the way to Skoplje[/B]. Pupin personally wrote a memorandum on March 19, 1919 to the USA president Woodrow Wilson, who based on the data received from Pupin historical and ethnic characteristics of boarder areas of Dalmatia, Slovenia, Istria, Banat, Međimurje, Baranja and Macedonia, stated that he did not recognize the London agreement signed between allies and Italy. ( Wikipedia)

Mabe we all should appreciate him and be thankful for east of Macedonia up to Skopje is not Bulgarian today. Macedonia would be much smaller today. Mabe its his actions that makes him held in high regards (on top of 70 technical articles and reviews he released and 34 patents) , and not because he is Serb.

Quite interesting Bill.
Should be on another thread for further discussion IMO

Now there should be no doubt about the Vevcani.

Vevcanci have also erected marble lists across the town of 'traitors to the nation'. I have photo's of them and will have a look at the names on there tonight. Will post up here. It may be telling to see who they consider as 'un-Macedonian'.

Dimitri, I don't think you answered Vangelovski's question when he asked if you are Macedonian...

Now I've heard everything....Vevcani pro-Serb? Yeah okay, and the United States is Pro-Russian..

Okay people, back to the topic please...

So that's a Tetovo church set on fire today, yesterday in Labunista, Struga, couple days before that a Orthodox Cross was vandalized and broken if I'm not mistaken also in Struga, then we have these Al-Qaeda like protests in the middle of Struga. Merko blaming it all on the Vevcani residents.

DPMNE response: Sort it out yourselfs.
