announced
 Macedonian
Information
Agency

PM
(GMT+01:00)) (MIA) -
Following
the
decision
of
the
Macedonian
Government,
the
Ministry
of
Culture
announced
Friday
the
open
competition
for
preparation
of
a
draft-urban
architectonic
solution
for
building
of
Memorial
Center
ASNOM.
The
location
for
the
complex
is
situated
in
region
Sredorek,
Pelince,
municipality
Staro
Nagoricane,
two
kilometers
from
monastery
"St.
Prohor
Pcinski",
where
the
first
session
of
ASNOM
(National
Anti-Fascist
Liberation
Council
of
Macedonia)
was
held
on
August
2,
1944.
The
work
should
contain
a
draft-architectonic
solution,
along
with
a
textual
rationale.
The
first
award
amounts
at
Denar
400,000,
the
second
at
200,000,
while
the
third
at
180,000,
as
well
as
two
buy
outs
at
Denar
80,000.
The
deadline
for
submitting
the
ideas
is
February
16,
2004,
followed
by
public
announcement
of
the
results.
"I
think
that
we
will
choose
the
best
and
the
most
rational
solution.
The
idea
for
this
complex
came
in
the
course
of
2003,
mainly
because
the
celebration
should
urge
both
the
younger
and
older
generations",
Minister
of
Culture
Blagoj
Stefanovski
stated
for
MIA.
He
added
that
the
object,
which
will
be
located
by
Pcinja
River
and
near
the
highway,
would
correspond
with
the
surrounding,
where
people
go
on
picnics.
"Unfortunately,
due
to
the
decision
of
the
Serbian
Parliament,
the
site
where
the
ASNOM
Assembly
was
held
is
ex-Macedonian
territory,
and
therefore
we
cannot
celebrate
this
event
there",
Minister
Stefanovski
stated.
According
to
him,
the
60th
anniversary
of
the
event
can
be
celebrated
along
with
the
people,
while
the
new
complex
can
also
be
used
in
the
course
of
the
entire
year.
The
complex
will
be
comprised
of
playgrounds,
restaurant,
amphitheater
for
performances,
along
with
the
commemorative
plaques
of
the
ASNOM
Assembly,
which
were
located
in
"St.
Prohor
Pcinski".
The
Macedonian
state
delegation
was
not
allowed
to
mark
August
2
in
monastery
"St.
Prohor
Pcinski",
so
the
flower
wreaths
were
put
at
watchtower
"Prohor
Pcinski"
near
the
monastery.
Despite
the
announcements
of
the
Serbian
Government
that
the
commemorative
plaques
will
be
returned
during
the
celebrations,
it
did
not
occur
due
to
the
opposing
of
the
Serbian
Orthodox
Church,
which
insisted
that
the
Macedonian
national
holiday
was
celebrated
outside
the
monastery.
The
commemorative
plaques
of
the
ASNOM
Assembly
were
violently
taken
out
by
Serbian
radical
Voislav
Seselj
in
1998.
The
first
assembly
of
ASNOM
is
Macedonia's
second
Ilinden
and
the
cornerstone
of
Macedonian
statehood.
Including
116
delegates,
presided
by
Metodija
Andonov-Cento,
it
presented
constitution
of
the
state
of
the
Macedonian
people.
It
passed
several
decisions,
among
which
the
most
significant
are
the
Declaration
on
the
basic
rights
of
citizens
in
democratic
Macedonia,
as
well
as
the
decision
that
the
Macedonian
language
is
the
official
language
in
the
Macedonian
state.
