Father Tsarknias was unable to attend the UMD Conference or MHRMI Macedonian Human Rights Week.

Stoyan Georgiev from OMO Ilinden PIRIN and Nase Parisis, from Vinozhito and EBLUL will be the honoured guests.

The activists are in Washington now, along with MHRMI representative, Mark Opashinov, and UMD reps meeting with State Department officials, the US Helsinki Commission, Congressmen, etc. discussing concrete steps that the international community can take to put an end to human rights abuses against Macedonians. These meetings will continue in Canada with government officials, media, and human rights organizations.

After the UMD conference, the activists will visit New York, New Jersey, Ottawa, Montreal, Hamilton, Niagara Falls, Windsor and Toronto.

Please show your support for Macedonian Human Rights.

Macedonian Human Rights Movement International (MHRMI) is pleased to announce MHRMI Macedonian Human Rights Week, June 14-21, 2009. We will be honouring the President of EBLUL and a member of Vinozhito, Nase Parisis, as well as a member of OMO "Ilinden" - PIRIN, Stoyan Georgiev.

Events will be held all week throughout various cities in North America, culminating with a fundraiser on Sunday, June 21 at 12:30pm at St. Clement of Ohrid Macedonian Orthodox Cathedral in Toronto. Lunch will be served and the honoured guests and MHRMI will give an update on the current human rights situation of Macedonians in the Balkans. Admission is $20. Donations of $100 or more will be issued a charitable tax receipt.

MHRMI envisions a future where Macedonians, specifically in Greece, Bulgaria, Albania, Serbia and Kosovo, are officially recognized and can enjoy the most basic of human rights such as freedom of speech, freedom of worship, and respect for their right to self-identification as Macedonians.

MHRMI works directly with all Macedonian human rights organizations in the Balkans and provides vital financial and logistical support for their activities. The Macedonian communities of the world are organized, energized and determined to pursue their struggle for universal human rights.

The biggest challenge we face is a financial one. Macedonian Human Rights Movement International needs your support so that we may continue to assist Macedonians in their struggle for human rights.

Please show your support by attending our Fundraiser for Human Rights and consider giving a monthly, annual or one-time donation by visiting http://www.mhrmi.org/donation.asp.

Thank you in advance for your interest and support.

Congratulations to the MHRMI for a wonderful event today. Very well organized.

Natse was there from Vinozhito and he gave us an update on the situation in Greece.

You know those 4530 votes that the Greek government claims are the ballots for Ouranio Toxo -- don't believe that number for one second. Greece is doing everything it can to invisiblize and discredit Ouranio Toxo -- including spoiling their ballots -- but that's nothing new for Greece.

Mr Stoyan Georgiev was there from OMO-Ilinden Pirin and he gave us a summary of the situation in Bulgaria -- which to my reckoning has probably gotten worse since Bulgaria joined the European Union.

I have to say it was an honour to meet him.

Those of you who didn't make it should kick yourselves.

Great times!!!

Damn -.- There will never be something like this in germany
But i am closer to Macedonia
