This is fantastic. We need to spread this around the world. If you want a simple way to contribute to the solution, plant a tree. Do it for a loved one or do it because you love your planet.
From the article:
Renowned Macedonian Opera singer, Boris Trajanov, UNESCO-s 2005 Artist for Peace, has successfully initiated the planting of six million trees in a single day to replace those lost in wildfires.
SKOPJE (Reuters) - Thousands of Macedonians took to the hills and forests on Wednesday to plant six million trees in a single day as part of a mass reforestation drive in the Balkan country.
The main aim of the campaign was to replant Macedonia-s forests after extensive wild fires over the past two summers, and organizers trumpeted the scheme-s environmental benefits at a time of global warming.
Our goal is to make Macedonia greener and make people more aware of the needs of this planet, said Macedonian opera singer Boris Trajanov, who initiated the project.
If Macedonia, a country of two million people, can plant six million trees, we can only imagine how many trees can be planted in other, bigger countries, Trajanov told Reuters.This is fantastic. We need to spread this around the world. If you want a simple way... more

The governments of Montenegro and Macedonia have formally recognised Kosovo as independent following its secession from Serbia in February. The move leaves Bosnia-Hercegovina as the only component republic of former Yugoslavia withholding recognition.
Serbia reacted angrily to Montenegro's decision saying it jeopardised regional stability, and announced it was expelling the Montenegrin ambassador. Nearly 50 countries have recognised Kosovo's independence so far. Macedonia's Foreign Minister Antonio Milososki said his government approved the move after parliament adopted a resolution by an overwhelming majority to make the recommendation. Montenegro and Serbia made up a single state until a referendum in 2006. Montenegro hopes to become a future member of the EU and Nato; its foreign minister said the decision was guided by his county's national interests and that an independent Kosovo was a reality.
The BBC's Nick Thorpe in Pristina says that recognition by its neighbours brings both psychological and practical trading benefits for Kosovo.
The small country of only two million inhabitants, of which 90% are Albanian, has often appeared isolated in the western Balkans, our correspondent says.
Serbian's Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic described the decision to eject Montenegro's ambassador from the country as "proportionate". He told the state news agency, Tanjug, that "regional countries have special responsibility in preserving peace and stability in the Balkans".
Earlier, Serbia said it was reinstating its ambassadors to the US and other Western nations that had angered it by recognising Kosovo's independence. Serbia recalled many of its ambassadors in February from countries that backed Kosovo's unilateral declaration - a move that Serbia has condemned as illegal. In a statement, the Serb government said the decision was made because of "continued diplomatic activity to preserve Serbia's territorial integrity and sovereignty". It comes amid a week of both defeats and victories for Kosovan diplomacy.
On Wednesday, a substantial majority at the UN General Assembly agreed to allow Serbia to challenge the legality of Kosovan independence at the International Court of Justice. It followed an earlier announcement by Portugal that it had recognised Pristina. The governments of Montenegro and Macedonia have formally recognised Kosovo as... more

"The journalist, Vlado Taneski, is accused of raping, torturing and killing three elderly women in the south-western town of Kicevo [Macedonia]. Macedonian police began to suspect him after he included details in his reports that they had not made public. Other men have reportedly already been convicted of the first two murders. The third was committed last month.
Mr Taneski, 56, has not yet been charged with any offence, police said.
They allege that he kidnapped and abused the women before cutting them into pieces and dumping them in plastic bags.
"He is also suspected of being involved in... [the disappearance of] a 78-old female who is still missing," said police spokesman Ivo Kotevski. "All victims were found naked, strangled, wrapped with phone cables," the spokesman said. "The women were sexually and physically abused. For example, the last victim, a 65-year old female, was found with 13 deep wounds on her skull and multiple rib fractures."
All the women apparently had similarities to the suspect's late mother, with whom he reportedly had a poor relationship.
"All victims were elderly females with poor education who had worked as cleaners. They all were from the same neighbourhood of Kicevo," Mr Kotevski said.
Mr Taneski's editor at the Utrinski Vesnik newspaper told the Associated Press: "We are all shocked with this. I know him as an exceptionally quiet man and I would never believe that he is capable of doing something like that"."
