United Macedonia Diaspora

[Vangelovski]

It appears UMD is building friendships with other Southeast European communities in the US:

...On May 19th, to build upon the main themes of the Global Diaspora Forum, UMD and The Heritage Foundation co-hosted a ground breaking roundtable discussion that brought together officials from the State Department, Capitol Hill staff, the Ambassadors of Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, and Macedonia and diplomats from the Embassies of Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, and Turkey. Leaders of Diaspora organizations represented the Albanian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Greek, Macedonian, Serbian, and Turkish-American communities in the United States.

The roundtable’s purpose was to map out the direction in which these Diaspora groups can cooperate in assisting the development of the Southeast European region and furthering its relationship with Euro-Atlantic institutions and the United States...

...UMD put forward the idea of instituting an informal body, the Southeast European Coalition, to build dialogue and strengthen relations among all Southeast European-American groups. All participating organizations during the roundtable discussion pledged overwhelming support for such an initiative...

This begs the following questions:

1. Which Greek, Albanian, Bulgarian and Serbian organisations is UMD now forming a coalition with?

2. What exactly is the purpose of this coalition and which specific issues will it cooperate on?

UMD Logic

Why, would we want to work with other Macedonian organizations when we can assist our dusmani? This, way their membership base (small) is not effected in any way - all about money. Geez, I guess we can't rule out working with the KKK or American Idol?

Enough, with your shameless plugs here ladies .. we demand current and accurate facts!

Will, John Bitove Sr. be in Washington DC. live? John Bitove Jr.? If, you know they can't make it due to health or business matters then honesty does matter to your members I would hope? Maybe not ..

Technically, President Obama, Oprah and KC and the Sunshine Band can be there as well (on video). Maybe, 2012 will be the right time for Queen Elizabeth II to attend and pick up her Goce Delcev award then you can deliver it to London, England?



Fala, Meto i Fala Washington (blagodaram e tocno)

What, could they possibly lose by posting truths? Maybe, they don't want to open a can of worms - admit to any faults?

When, you force people to guess half will guess wrong.

You know MK Meto isn't the queen of england of whom you can't question.He should answer the questions other wise no advertizing.So one of his quotes"To achieve one of our broadest goals of strengthening and protecting Macedonian culture, the Macedonian people cannot do it alone" Meto needs to better communicate with the diaspora if he wishes to achieve his goals.If he doesn't then we have a very low opinion of him & what he hopes to achieve.

Do you know the motto mhrmi & amhrc use? The, only way to avoid it completely is to discontinue posting on ALL forums. Hey, let them start their own forum (censorship) if they feel the need to post reklami. Well, I can tell you that they must pay for advertising in the Toronto Macedonian media and this is more powerful (net) then any of those so someone do the math per line.

Can't, have it both ways in 2011 they operate a business and websites are not free, costs involved.

..........and the UMD is nowehere to be seen. Should it take this long to respond to such a simple question which relates to our historical identity?
