Initiative of the
Macedonians in Sweden
The Presidency of the Macedonian Union in Sweden has given proposal on which
way we can express our gratitude to the President of USA George Bush, for
the recognition of the Constitutional name of the Republic of Macedonia. The
members of this Presidency think that the most well fitted thing that we can
do is to name one street, boulevard or square in Skopje, or in other bigger
cities in Macedonia, after George Bush. The Presidency of the Macedonian
Union in Sweden has informed the Embassy of the Republic of Macedonia in
Stockholm about this initiative and has asked from it to take this proposal
in consideration in cooperation with the Macodonian Ministry of foreign
affairs. If this proposal will be adopted, then we will express our
gratitude to the President of USA George Bush on the suitable way because
this decision is with enormous political meaning and it’s crucial for the
further development of the Macedonian state as well as for the strengthening
of it’s international position. |

The problem with the
cytostatices is continuing
The children who are cancer patients will be left without needed
medications, again. The reserves of cytostatices are worn out and the tender
for the new supplier is not finished yet. Still, the quantity of reserves is
unknown and the doctors are not giving any information to the parents, just
to avoid the panic among them. By the way, the medications for the treatment
were mostly provided by the parents them selves. According to the authorized
in the Board of the Clinical Center, on the last unsuccessful tender was
decided to be bought only three out of fifteen offered cytostatics. The
bureaucratic procedures, which are the main reason for hundreds of children
who are left without medications, are also the reason for failure of the
appeal because there was only one bidder who has responded on that appeal. |

Invoices for “Mobimak” and
“Cosmophone”, again
The Board of Telecommunications has returned the invoices for urgent payment
for year’s reimbursement to the companies “Mobimak” and “Cosmophone” which
have been using the radio frequencies during this year, 2004. The latest
date for payment of the invoices, with total value of approximately 4,5
million Euro, has already expired on November, 09. There are speculations
that these companies will not pay off these invoices because the state has
calculated the reimbursement for the period when there wasn’t existing any
legal liability for settlement of the reimbursement for using the radio
frequencies.
