>    For the first time to our long history, a professional
> and multi-purpose Macedonian Information and Liaison
> Service (M.I.L.S.)  has been established at the core of
> world economic and political decision- making - Brussels,
> Belgium, the seat of united Europe and NATO.

>    "Such a dramatic venture will have a huge impact in
> the state of affairs concerning Macedonia, and
> particularly in the European and North American
> theatres," said the Director of the Ilinden Foundation,
> Mr. Simon Tanevski. "However, this positive development
> would not have been possible were it not for the generous
> support of the Macedonians in every state of Australia,"
> continued Mr. Tanevski; "The Australian- Macedonian
> Society and the Ilinden Foundation secured the services
> of Richard Farmer, well known journalist and lobbyist,
> earlier this year, to help promote the Macedonian cause
> to the wider community for their help, and they responded
> magnificently!" he said.
>
>    M.I.L.S. is a Non Govermental and Non Profit Organization,
> will be administered by the A.M.S. Inc.,  and
> financially supported by the Ilinden Foundation It  will
> have in fact two outlets, with a Skopje office being
> established to provide up to date information to the
> Brussels office for world-wide distribution. The
> Macedonian Information and Liaison Service will be headed
> by a Director, Dr. Ljupco Naumovski who will be based in
> Brussels, and be supported by several office staff and
> volunteers. Dr. Naumovski, a qualified international
> lawyer and activist and a former academic and diplomat,
> is best known for his courageous sole intervention at the
> Moscow CSCE meeting last year, when he presented a fiery
> speech to the pletenery session condemning Greek,
> Bulgarian, Albanian and Serbian policies on the
> Macedonian issue, despite formal diplomatic objections.
> Volunteers in the Brussels office will be Saso Trajcevski
> Uzunov, a journalist from Australian Macedonian origin,
> other capable Macedonians and non-Macedonian
> professionals. They will be headed by the President of
> the Macedonian Community in Brussels, Mr. Goce Vidovski.
> The Manager of the Skopje office will be the young
> journalist and writer, Saso Ordanoski.
>
>    The Macedonian Information and Liaison Service will
> have three major functions:
>
>  - wide distribution of Macedonian "news" in a number of
> fields through an international media network, including
> electronic media.
>
>  - liaison with the lobbying of important government
> representatives, diplomats, organisations and
> individuals, in relation to vital Macedonian issues and
> interests.
>
>  - providing a resource of information materials for
> distribution to interested parties.
>
>    The office has been established since early September,
> and it is located only 10 minutes from the heart of
> Brussels, in a residence that is christened "Macedonia
> House!" .  Already, very sophisticated communications
> systems have been established, including modern computer,
> satellite telephone and telefax technology with easy
> international access, so that it can compete favourably
> with best organised opponents.
