Bosnet is an moderated mailing list published daily, covering news
and discussions mainly about Bosnia and Hercegovina. The service is
run by volunteers. Language is English and Bosnian, whichever the
contributor is most comfortable with. It includes also news from
international press and important announcements, related to Bosnia
and Hecegovina. Readers are encouraged to send original contributions.

< Croatian-News / Hrvatski-Vjesnik >
News from and related to Croatia. The service is run by volunteers.
These are actually two MODERATED news distributions: one in Croatian
(occasionally an article can be in some other South Slavic language)
and one in English.
Sample offering:
Croatian News (in English):
- Foreign Press Bureau (Zagreb) reports
- Agency news
- Belgrade weekly Vreme News Digest (courtesy of SII)
- some articles from main British/North American papers
- some translations from Croatian and other papers
- some scholarly articles about Croatia
Hrvatski Vjesnik (in Croatian):
- Slobodna Dalmacija
- Novi Vjesnik (courtesy of the paper and MIRH)
- Vecernji List (courtesy of the paper and MIRH)
- some articles from Globus, Vreme and other papers
- some news transcripts and scholarly texts
Note that we do not carry daily/weekly papers in full, but only a
selection. Each distribution brings 100-300K of mail weekly.
How does it work:
* The same news are distributed all around the world. The
central place to direct all your comments is:
Croatian-Ne...@andrew.cmu.edu
and
Hrvatski-Vjes...@andrew.cmu.edu
respectively.
Similarly, if you want to suggest something for publication, please
send it to:
Croatian-News...@andrew.cmu.edu
or
Hrvatski-Vje...@andrew.cmu.edu
Please note that these distributions are MODERATED, and for news
ONLY. In any case, do not use Reply-to-All option from an item you
receive, but use a specific address given above or below.
* The mailing lists are maintained locally. Thus, you can get
much faster response if you send your messages regarding the
subscription status directly to your local maintainer address (see
below).
For subscription, please send a message with following information:
o your name
o your e-mail address

comming from Croatia. At the time of writing (Aug '92) list carries
articles from Novi Vjesnik, Vecernji List, Croatia Monitor, Slobodna

SCCro-Digest/SCYU-Digest:
These two moderated mailing lists enable people without access to
the USENET newsgroups soc.culture.croatia and soc.culture.yugoslavia
to receive messages published on those forums in a digested form.
The volume of the material depends on the traffic on the respective
newsgroup, but usually there is at least 700-800 lines of text daily
(on each list). The topics cover wide ranging subjects and on
occasions one can witness *very* heated discussions between the
participants. Language is mostly English. The interaction is
possible thru the gateway at Berkeley.
NOTE: these two lists are *completely* separate, and one san subscribe
to one, other, or both of them.

Cro-Views is an opinion service which consists of discussions
relating to Croatia and other former-Yugoslav republics. The main
objective is to give people who cannot access the news network (eg
via "rn" command in Unix) a chance to read and voice their own
opinion about these issues.
Once subscription is completed, a letter of confirmation is sent out
to the subscriber. From that point on, the subscriber receives all
opinions sent in by other subscribers and has access to send his own
opinions.
Cro-Views is a non-moderated service but abusive language and
name-calling is no longer tolerated and an academic level of
discussion is encouraged.

MAK-NEWS is a listserv network mailgroup that carries information
regarding Macedonia throughout the world. The primary regular
sources are the M.I.L.S. (Macedonian Information Liaison Service)
daily bulletins from Brussels, Belgium. Other sources include the
RFE/RL (Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty) daily reports, NATO press
releases from Europe, the Macedonian Tribune from the United States,
Vreme, and others. Regular personal reports from Skopje also are
available, providing an up to the minute feel from within the
republic.
Whenever an event occurs, subscribers of MAK-NEWS contribute
articles from their local areas. Hence, anything of interest
occurring anywhere in the world makes it way to MAK-NEWS where it is
then redistributed to the rest of the subscribers. Both the
Macedonian (in its latin phonetic equivalent script) and the English
languages are used, and at times others.
MAK-NEWS runs from mak-...@uts.edu.au on the InterNet, with the
usual listserv mail commands applying. Distributions are on a daily
basis at irregular times (when contribution load is sufficient to
send, or relating to the urgency of the material to be sent), and is
about 200-300 kilobytes per week.
A recent improvement to MAK-NEWS is the creation of MAK-TALK which
gives subscribers the opportunity to discuss news items appearing in
MAK-NEWS at greater lengths. It allows increased exchanges of
dialogue, which wasnt possible with the original rigid structure
which was essentially news-only based. Subscription to MAK-TALK is
generally automatic with MAK-NEWS. Otherwise, it is accessed the
same as MAK-NEWS. Each user of MAK-TALK is defaulted to DIGEST
mode. This can be changed.
An FTP site (loosely termed MAK-FTP) has recently been created to
complement the MAK-NEWS listserv mailgroup, and provide people on
the internet access to material regarding Macedonia, such as
backlogs of MAK-NEWS, cyrillic fonts for various computer formats,
graphical pictures (GIFS...) of popular pictures, professionally
produced documents often available in postscript format, and so on,
setting a facility to the people of the InterNet one which has never
existed before all in order for a greater exchange of information
relating Macedonia. You can acces MAK-FTP by connecting to
"ftp.uts.edu.au" and enter directrory /pub/MAKEDON.
All of the above "Macedonian" facilities run centrally under the
wing of "MAK-NEWS", and any future activities are similarly to be
coordinateed by the Macedonian community of MAK-NEWS.

"Oglasna Deska" (= bulletin board) are transcripts taken from SLON,
which is a nickname for Decnet connecting several computers in
Slovenia. There is a conference similar to Usenet running under SLON
and the articles and replies are occasionally saved and sent to the
world. The topics cover wide area, the language used is usually
Slovene, Croatian or Serbian, some articles are in English. At the
moment, interaction is limited to some "newsgroups" (others can only
be read), but in the near future it should be possible to send
articles using the mail "reply" command. The topics covered are
equivalent to Usenet groups talk.politics.misc, rec.cars, rec.humor,
comp.networks.*, rec.climbing, and misc.invest.

VREME carries "Vreme" and VND (selected articles from "Vreme"

Yugoslavia and "neighbouring countries". It is published weekly,
every Monday, and usually the electronic mail edition of VND is
available on the same day.

distribution of VND may not always be smooth. Further, VND is
published by a professional news agency which made this material
available to us by a special agreement. The proper credit to VND
should be given whenever is this material cited or used in any way.
