ACTIRG CHAIRXUJ OF TE DELEGATION OF GFERCR TO THE SECRETARY-WXRAL, DATED 3 DECEPBM 1945, AND ENCLCSED MEMORANDUM 3 December 1946 &II. Secretary-General, kdei i,nstructione from my Government, I have the honom to request : .,::._:. you, in virtue of Arsicla 34 and of ArtPcle 35, paragraph 1, of the Charter, to be so Sood as to eubtit-to t,he Security Council, for early consideration, a situation which is leafding to friction between Weece and her neighbours, by reason of the fact that the latter are lending their support to the violent guerrilla warfare now being waged in Nsrthera Greece against public order and the territorial integrity of my country. Tbi6 situation, If not gromD%lg remedied, is, in the olsinion of my Government, likely to endanger the maintenance of international peace and.security. In particular, the Greek Government deeire to draw the attention of the Secnrit,:; 5cuncil to .ch,p urgent nec3ssity for an investigation to be undertaken cn the spot, in order that the cause8 of this situation may be brought to light. They ere confident that im this wql the charges brought .::: :-:y.. z..:.:..:::._ .. by then may be confirmed authoritatively, and means provided for the s6ttle.7lent Of the question. A detailed memoren~um In support cf this request is submitted. herewith, d?Ay 3llco-,~t.:zti I!?

There is conclusive evidence that the whole guerrilla movement against Greece is receiving substantial support from the countries adjacent to Greece's northern bounderiea, and particularly frcm Yugoslavia, and that this support takes the following forms: (a) groups of men are bairg trained and organised in foreign texitory; they are then sent into Greece, together with consignments of war material (b) armed bands or isolated members of such bands a.re crcssing the boundary-line in both directions .under the protection and guidance of the frontier authorities of the neighbouring countries; (c) Greek fugitives from Justice and anarchists are being received and cared for In foreign territory, and are being incited by propanganda tc carry on sy;bversive activities fn Greece. It i8 to be noted that Bulgaria and Albania bear a similar responsibility for the activities of the hostile bands opeiating on Greece's northern frontiers l The Permanent Greek Delegation hzs already drawn your attention to the itimicel attitude towards Greece of the official Yugoslav press, as also to the statements made in August last a.+ the first Congress of the 'Popular Front of Exedonia' by W. Dimitri Vlachov, Vice-President of the Yugoslav . Kational Assembly, Kulichevsky, Prime Sfinister of the 'Popular Macedonian Republic' and other official spokesmen, in which statementa the union of the three sections of yacedonia was demanderi. It may be added that statements cf a similar tenor were also made at the Paris Peace Corlference by 34 Dimitri Vlachov end Pijade, and that various l~~qoslav representatives have since expressed themselves in a like serse. The evidence thus offorded confirms the view of the Greek Governunent that the guerrilla warfare that is being conducted on the ncrthern bcncdsriea of Greece enjoys official Yugoslav suppcrt. /The situation T’r;e sitxticn to d-dch the extnts LcferLed to hr.va gl:‘en rls~ io SQA.:OL;S~;; h#qe.rinl; the Gieek Givernment’s efforts to qcrmzta the e~rrnt~i.: reh&lli?ation of the co:ntz$, ard is tending to create c;;~~:.seaor ?riccicn wltl: zzi;hborzing col-lntiies with which Gleece desireo, %d is i’i:,li;l:’ ieciteii, to live in peace end ic a spirit of si.ncdi’e csllabc~ation.

  • An Insight Guide of Prespa Lakes Region Short Description of the Region
    An Insight Guide of Prespa Lakes Region Short description of the region Located in the north-western corner of Greece at 850 metres above sea level and surrounded by mountains, the Prespa Lakes region is a natural park of great significance due to its biodiversity and endemic species. Prespa is a trans boundary park shared between Greece, Albania and FYR Macedonia. It only takes a few moments for the receptive visitor to see that they have arrived at a place with its own unique personality. Prespa is for those who love nature and outdoor activities all year round. This is a place to be appreciated with all the senses, as if it had been designed to draw us in, and remind us that we, too, are a part of nature. Prespa is a place where nature, art and history come together in and around the Mikri and Megali Prespa lakes; there are also villages with hospitable inhabitants, always worth a stop on the way to listen to their stories and the histories of the place. The lucky visitor might share in the activities of local people’s daily life, which are all closely connected to the seasons of the year. These activities have, to a large extent, shaped the life in Prespa. The three main traditional occupations in the region are agriculture, animal husbandry and fishing. There are a lot of paths, guiding you into the heart of nature; perhaps up into the high mountains, or to old abandoned villages, which little by little are being returned once more to nature’s embrace.

Its contribution to the historiography of the period stems from the fact that it constitutes the first academic study of the third largest resistance organisation in Greece, the 5/42 regiment of evzones. The study of this national resistance organisation can thus extend our knowledge of the Greek resistance effort, the political relations between the main resistance groups, the conditions that led to the civil war and the domestic relevance of British policies.

  • Antartiko - Prespes
    COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN LTD West Axis at limits of Region of Western Macedonia – Design for the Improvement of Road Florina – Antartiko - Prespes The project is about the improvement of the National Road from the Northern City of Florina to the Prespa Lakes Area, a highly touristic site of Northern Greece. The total road length is about 56 Km and the length designed by this project is about 26Km. High Mountain elevations between 750m and 1500m above sea level with very steep slopes and very deep ravines. To this extremely rugged terrain with granite subsoils there will be constructed 17 Valley bridges and an Cut&Cover and this is the subject of the Structural Design of the project. All bridges are precast – prestressed concrete beam structures of total lengths between 80m and 130m. The precast beams are transferred in situ and raised to be placed on the high piers and abutments. They are circular in plan with relatively small radius (95Μ to 140Μ) and have a longitudinal slope of about 6%. The overall width of the deck including the pavements is about 13.00m. They have a single traffic surface with one lane on each direction and barriers on each side. Expansion joints are provided at the abutments. The structural continuity of the deck along the length is provided with a continuity deck slab through the piers. Each pier consists of a pair of circular hollow columns of reinforced concrete and a cap beam on top of each pier which supports the upper structure resting on anchored laminated elastomeric bearings. At both bridge ends, transition slabs in conjunction with the abutments and the abutment wing walls form the transitional backfill.

Macedonia / Tandem paragliding & Horse Riding in Krushevo 08:30-09:30 Welcome group briefing in Krusevo. 09:30-14:00 In recent years Krusevo has earned the reputation of one of Europe’s top tandem paragliding spots due to its high altitude and frequent thermals. The tandem paragliding flights in Krusevo are different than other locations in Macedonia because of the beautiful natural setting (flying over the forests and valleys instead of flying above urban area). The take-off spot is located in the historical area known as Gumenja, near the historical landmark “Meckin Kamen”, only a few kilometers from the center of Krusevo, while the landing spot is usually near the village of Krivogastani. This flight usually lasts for 20-25 minutes. But if the weather is good and guests are lucky to catch nice thermals, the instructor can offer them to stay up in the air for 20 minutes more and to land far away from the previously agreed landing place. There is available ground support team will pick the guests up from where they landed. There is also the option for extended flight for additional cost. Recommended clothing: Hiking boots with ankle support, as well as sunglasses. The paragliding equipment is provided by the tandem provider.

The females of two species are described for the first time: Nomisia levyi Chatzaki, 2010 and Erigonoplus simplex Millidge, 1979. The earlier suggestion of the synonymy of Pardosa tatarica with Pardosa atomaria is repeated. Theridion betteni Wiehle, 1960 is reported as new for Albania.

PPC, fully sensitized to the demand of Greek society for a better environment, has set environmental protection as one of the basic priorities of its policy on modernization and development. We fully recognize that the environmental upgrading of our power generation potential has been greatly delayed since the necessary investments should have been concluded in the past decade. On the other hand, we have not managed as yet to communicate the significant work of PPC in the exploitation of the country’s water potential through the development of significant Hydroelectric Power Plants. How many of our fellow citizens know, for example, that PPC projects secure the water supply for 2,500,000 consumers and the irrigation of 450,000 hectares of agricultural land? How many know that approximately 8,000,000 trees have been planted in exhausted PPC mines in order to create big air replenishment areas? Today, PPC executives and personnel do not only systematically follow all the developments on issues of climate change and environmental technologies, but also draw up the policies that will allow the Company to become the driving force behind the rapid development of a Green Economy in our country.

  • Northern Greece So Far, the Four Nal Properties Worldwide
    a picture map is included Gastronomy Routes and the culture of Flavours... “The gentle art of gastronomy is a friendly one… it surpasses the language barrier, creates new friendships among civilized people and warms the heart”. Samuel Chamberlain What is “Food Travel” or “Culinary Tourism”? Who can be described as a “Food Traveler” or “Gastro-Tourist”? Nowadays, new tourism products are launched regularly: some are new venues for already existing interests while others are new products that address the demands of new niche-markets. For others, as observed in culinary tourism, it is not so much a new product but rather a focus on recognizing something that already exists, refining and improving the pursuit and enjoyment of unique food and drink experi- ences, both far and near to us! Many governments and local administration authorities throughout the world are turning to tourism initiatives not only to breathe new life into stagnating economies but also to address the grave problem of rural depopulation. Culinary tourism in rural settings holds promise as a potential springboard for rural economies to blossom…!
