Yane Calovski from Press to Exit in Skopje is in NYC for a bit, and we had a great exchange yesterday. Yane has met a few times with Filip Jovanovski [SMS participant from Looking for October] so they will be working together on organizing events. Also Yane recommended Basak Senova (nomad tv) from Istanbul also to take part. She brought Erzen from Missing Identity from Kosovo and Margarita from Rotor to Skopje and Press to Exit hosted them, so we invited Press to Exit to join the expedition and travel to Pristina to continue their interaction.

We discussed possible project ideas, other organizations in Skopje to involve (Tochka for example) and sites (Opera, universal hall, highway, stretched main axis) and processes (downtown as mini-valley after 60s reconstruction) of interest in Skopje. Also we remembered that Filip had said that the "origin" of the highway was somewhere near Skopje, and it was inaugurated there. So we spoke about exploring spots on the highway outside of the city.

Press to Exit has also registered at the Europelostandfound.net web site and will post images from Skopje soon. They will also dedicate part of their web-site to LHE and link it to information on where to stay, how to get around. They already developed this for a festival in Skopje in December www.skopjeparkfun.com that we have linked to the ELF website.

We told him about the Ljubljana meeting and he is enthusiastic about this, and will try to figure it with his schedule etc.

Also we were at Alenka's last night, and she had a very good meeting with the people at Columbia Univ who are very supportive of the conference in early October and open to our proposed ideas of format and participants. She'll be updating us more next week.
