MAK-NEWS caters for events regarding the Republic of Macedonia which today is made up of two listserv mailgroups, MAKNWS-L and MAKEDON:
   1. MAKNWS-L is for News reports on the Macedonian Republic,
      and arrive both in English and Macedonian languages.
   2. MAKEDON is for Discussions regarding the Macedonian Republic.
      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 receive both the English and Macedonian versions of the news which arrive.

Sources on MAK-NEWS include the Macedonian Information Liason Service (M.I.L.S.), the Macedonian Information Centre (M.I.C.), Macedonian Tribune (M.T.), Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty
(RFE/RL), Radio Voice of America (VOA), N.A.T.O. Press Releases, Mainstream Media reports, Human Rights Media Releases and reports - as well as many miscellaneous others.

MAK-NEWS operates from MAKNWS-L@ListServ.ACSU.Buffalo.Edu on the InterNet, with an average weekly traffic throughput of about 400 Kilobytes.

Subscribers can also receive MAK-NEWS in DIGEST mode. This setting accumulates all the submissions to MAK-NEWS during the day and mails the result out as a batch file. This can be a convenient method to receive MAK-NEWS due to the quantity of material at times. Send:
"set MAKNWS-L digest" to listserv@ListServ.ACSU.Buffalo.Edu to enable. To reset to normal mode use "set MAKNWS-L mail".

MAK-NEWS is also happy to accept subscriber contributons. If you wish to have international distribution for your work - relating Macedonia which would interest the large MAK-NEWS readerbase, dont hesitate to submit your work. Contact one of the editors for more information.

Included on the WWW sites currently are the Republic of Macedonia Constitution (CONSTITUTION), the Macedonian Flag, complete archives of MAK-NEWS, and various other miscellaneous material regarding the Macedonian Republic.

MAK-NEWS (MAKNWS-L) regular reports are also archived on the FTP site at ListServ.ACSU.Buffalo.Edu under the MAKNWS_L home directory.

If you're absent for a long time and don't wish your mailbox to be 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. Material from MAK-NEWS is often exported to other discussion forums, other networks, and even external sites off the network.

                            < Mostovi >
                           -- Bridges --

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

        mostovi@listbox.com

        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.

``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.
