President Gordana Siljanovska – Davkova attended a large gathering of the Macedonian diaspora in Michigan yesterday.
We owe a debt to you and I promise that I will do all I can to intensify our contacts and that we are together even when we are apart, said President Siljanovska in her address, adding that she will work as fast as possible to constitute a Diaspora Council that will build ties between Macedonia and Macedonians abroad.
During the event organized by the Untied Macedonian Diaspora, the President met with Marian Ilitch, widow of Mike Ilitch, who together founded Little Caesars Pizza.
Also honored at the event was Jerry Naumoff, former Foreign Investments Minister in the Macedonian Government, and currently member of the board of directors of Rumble, who urged Macedonian businessmen from the diaspora to follow the example of Rumble founder Chris Pavlovski and to invest in their homeland. “Invest if you can, like Chris, like many others. It’s a great and profitable place to put your back office there. Instead of having your logistics and administrative people in Chicago where it’s ridicilously expensive, have them in Strumica, or Bitola, or Struga, or Skopje. You can get young people who really want to work and know 3-4-5 languages. We lost too many young people and we need your help, from the diaspora, to survive”, Naumoff said.
