Ramush Muarem-Cirko: We should all follow the path that leads to unification

In a video message for the United for Diversity Initiative, journalist Ramush Muarem-Cirko calls for unity in diversity as the only cure for the dangerous disease of nationalism.
Nationalism is a collective or individual paranoia. In fact, if we want to define or illustrate that nationalism, in fact I see it as a wild river, literally just like a wild river that flows uncontrollably along its course, and if we compare them with the weather conditions when there is rain, for example, then those tributaries or events in society contribute to that nationalism rising like the level of that wild river, and starting to overflow on all sides, and simply when it comes to that moment, all control is lost and there is no going back. In my opinion, nationalism is a dangerous disease of today everywhere in society.
I am a member of a nationality of a community that is a minority in this society, the Roma. In particular, it has happened to me to say, many times on the basis of that nationalism, to address me with adjectives from the example "gypsies", because simply, it is closest to them as simple devaluation of that community or devaluation of that person from that community.
There is one moment that we should try to do, and that is to make a dam, to regulate that flow in order to calm those flows. Well, I can call that dam united in diversity, exactly that dam can contribute and give it a name united in diversity.
We have to pave the way in exactly the way we have to find a cure, and the cure is simply titled as united in diversity. That drug is against a disease called tropophobia, and tropophobia means fear of change, we are not ready yet, but to prepare for it and cure that tropophobia, that drug or that therapy is united in diversity.
Finally, I would like to emphasize this: We should all follow the path that leads to unification, ie to be "united in diversity"

Zoran Dimov: "Now that Samka has taken a seat, it is time for him to repay the debt to BTR, and to unblock his PCER account"

After the appointment by the Government of the former MP, Minister and Deputy Minister Samka Ibraimovski for acting Deputy Director of "Makedonija Pat", Zoran Dimov, owner and founder of TV BTR Nacional, announced that the PCER party has been blocked for a long time due to the party's debt to BTR Nacional, for unpaid and implemented paid political program - Campaign.
The debt dates back more than 5 years, due to which the claims are given through a court for execution. To this day, that debt has not been repaid, which amounts to about 1 million denars.
Dimov has repeatedly allowed PCER to unblock the account in writing with a request due to the inflow of funds and the functioning of the party, with a promise from Samka that he will start paying the debt. After the money went to bed, Samka did not keep his promise and the account was blocked again. However, Ibraimovski several times due to the inflow of funds for the party opened special accounts for laundering those funds and according to Dimov without knowing the party where he is a signatory of those accounts raised the funds and thus committed illegal acts. Former Minister without portfolio Aksel Ahmedovski, who knows all these moments, is also aware of this fact.
Dimov repeatedly warned them from SDSM that PCER's account is blocked and that Ibraimovski illegally collects funds for a special sub-account of the party of which he is the only signatory.
Dimov says: "Ibraimovski ruined and set back the first Roma political party in Macedonia. Instead of progress, he took the party back years. When he took over the presidency, he only degraded it and used it for personal interests. For him, it was in fact a business firm - for his own personal interests, not a party that should defend the interests of the community he should represent. That is why the PCER party collapsed financially. Now is the time, as soon as he takes a seat on behalf of the party, to repay his debt to TV BTR from his salary as acting deputy director of "Makedonija Pat" to get rid of PCER's account, so that this party can function normally. At the same time, he knows that he is already undesirable on the Roma political scene, let him slowly give way to other much more productive and young forces in PCER. "PCER needs to remove this" gravedigger "of the party from its ranks and elect a new and young staff "Otherwise, the future leader of PCER should know that he will encounter a blocked account of PCER, but I promise that I will make an effort on my part to wholeheartedly help this party and find an optimal solution only for the benefit of PCER and for The Roma people "concluded Dimov in his thinking.
