Some Recent Political Ambitions

I figured I might as well see what the Macedonian Government was up to with respect to the EU and NATO. It turns out that the small country wants in on both, and has a few backers. Here are a few links that I found interesting:

Bulgaria has been backing a Macedonian bid for NATO membership http://www.sofiaecho.com/article/bulgaria-supports-macedonias-nato-membership--passi/id_18591/catid_68

Perhaps more useful and up to date is the BBC World Service country profile for Macedonia. Has tons of neat links to news services
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/country_profiles/1067125.stm

My favorite of these links is the Macedonian Information Agency, a Government-Owned affair that's just fantastic, and not a little nationalist...

And finally, MakFax, everyone's favorite news agency, which has informed me that the Gov. has just introduced Agrobusiness insurance. YAY!
