< Croatian-News / Hrvatski-Vjesnik >
News from Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Slovenia and other
countries emerging from former parts of Yugoslavia. The service is
run by volunteers.
These are actually two MODERATED news distributions: one in English
and one in Croatian (occasionally an article can be in some other
South Slavic language).
Sample offering:
Croatian News (in English):
- Foreign Press Bureau reports
- Agency news
- Radio Free Europe transcripts
- 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)
- Zagreb weekly Danas
- some articles from Ljubljana daily Delo (translated)
- 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
