history;
- initiates and participates in political actions/initiatives
abroad, creating interest, raising awareness of general public and
decision-makers about the events taking place in B&H;

Contributors are free to use either English or Macedonian,
whichever they feel more fluent and/or appropriate at the time.

Rapid up-to-date News reports from independent news services direct
from Macedonia arrive regularly onto MAK-NEWS, ensuring the latest
on events concerning the Republic. Other Special Interest reports
are also distributed through MAK-NEWS as they occur. Subscribers

Kilobytes.

Subscribers can also receive MAK-NEWS in DIGEST mode. This setting
accumulates all the submissions to MAK-NEWS during the day and mails

hesitate to submit your work. Contact one of the editors for more
information.

of MAK-NEWS, and various other miscellaneous material regarding

site at ListServ.ACSU.Buffalo.Edu under the MAKNWS_L home directory.

full of mail you can send: "set MAKNWS-L nomail". When you return
just send: "set MAKNWS-L mail" to listserv@ListServ.ACSU.Buffalo.Edu

Finally, MAK-NEWS (MAKNWS-L) can be received in many different ways.

other networks, and even external sites off the network. Our aim is
to consistantly propagate material concering the Republic of

< Mostovi >
-- Bridges --

Two separate Mostovi lists exist simultaneously, with different
distribution formats, both containing the same Mostovi messages (the
so-called "mostovi"):

mostovi - Regular mailing list. All messages are
distributed sequentially.
mostovi-digest - Digest list. If subscribed to this list, you
will receive large aggregate postings of 100+KB.

mostovi@listbox.com

In case of technical problems, contact:
owner-mostovi@listbox.com

List Mostovi (=Bridges) is a gathering place for ex-Yugoslav and
other persons of cosmopolitan attitude. It is a place for friendly
exchange of personal experiences beyond political borders.

The list is not moderated, which means that all messages sent from
subscribed addresses are distributed automatically. However, the
Council of Mostovi takes action when necessary, in accordance with
the rules available at the MOSTOVI official web site

http://www.borut.com/mostovi

thus providing an indirect form of moderation. The most important
rule is: all topics are allowed, but not all attitudes. No messages
displaying or advocating bias on the basis of race, gender or
ethnicity will be tolerated. Thinking before writing is strongly
advised. Creativity is encouraged, while duplication is discouraged
even beyond copyright limits. Quotations must not exceed 50% of the
entire message. Attachments are allowed and welcome, within the
total message size limit of 50 KB.

Participation of members of all nations and denominations is
desirable, English being, along with South Slavic languages, the
official language of the list.

< Novice MZT >
-- News of MZT --

Subscription requests and contributions:
Novice-MZT@KRPAN.ARNES.Si

Current editor:
Polona Novak (Polona.Novak@MZT.SI)

``News of Ministry of Science and Technology of the Republic of
Slovenia'' for the first time appeared in October 1990 as an
information bulletin. The intended role of ``News'' is to provide
easy accessible news from science, development, universities,
innovative activities to indviduals and institutions in research and
development area.

At the end of May 1994 the Ministry changed the form of information
which reflected in a change of ``News'' into ``Scientia''. That is,
``Scientia'' is now published as a separate page of column ``Znanje
za razvoj'' (``Knowledge for development'') in a Slovenian
newspaper ``Delo''. The reason for the change was Ministry's
intention to make its information available to a broader public and
to make the information more up-to-date.

``Scientia'' contains announcements and advertisements of the
Ministry, and articles about research policy. It is published twice
a month except in July and August.
