[Dx-qsl] Yugoslavia

Thu May 23 08:04:03 2002

The country is apparantly now officially known, at least for international
postal purposes, as "Serbia-Montenegro." I've been told that this change
was made by the Yugoslavian / Serbia-Montenegro authorities; sorry, I don't
know offhand exactly when the change took effect.
This is hardly paranoia or ongoing discrimination. It's probably just a
case of a computer reading error, such as what sometimes happens when mail
to the Republic of Georgia is sent to the US State of Georgia or mail to
marked for some of the countries in the West Indies (WI) is sent to
Wisconsin.
Sheesh.

Hello Folks,
maybe you all - on the other side of the pond - should send an e-Mail to the
USPS and your Congress man protesting about the fact, that the USPS does not
deliver mail to Yugoslavia. There were some political changes in Yugoslavia!
This paranoia in the States and the ongoing discrimination of our HAM
friend's
in Yugoslavia is unbelievable .. and not for me only!
