Following the opening of the exhibition on Macedonian Heraldry at the Museum of Macedonia and the lectures of Herald Jovan Jonovski, several interviews followed on domestic and foreign television stations. Following this came the documentary program on heraldry in Macedonia, also featuring Dr. Sne\u017eana Filipova on Macedonian national television.
\nIn May we presented the results of all three modules of lectures and workshops at the project called \u201cAmazing World of Heraldry\u201d. Shortly after, at the request of the President, Gjorge Ivanov, MHS was comissioned to define the\u00a0 insignia of the Office of the President. The team included President Jovan Jonovski, Secretary Petar Gajdov and Stojan\u010de Veli\u010dkovski. Veli\u010dkovski had several interviews in the printed and electronic media regarding the initiative for popularization of the Macedonian Oak (Quercus Macedonica) as a floral symbol of Macedonia.
\nNext was the work on the Coat of Arms of the Macedonian Orthodox Church, this time in a team that, beside the herald, included the heraldic artist Stojan\u010de Veli\u010dkovski. More detail on these two projects can be found in articles published in this issue.
\nAfter the initiative to remove the five-pointed star from the State \u201cCoat of Arms\u201d, many articles, interviews and comments followed,\u00a0 but MHS was not officially contacted by the authorities in connection with the change of the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Macedonia.
\nTwo visits took place. In February we received\u00a0 Dr. Stoyan Antonov, already well known to the Macedonian heraldic public with several of his lectures. Later we had the honour of welcoming Dr. Ivan Balta from Osijek, Croatia. Both experts received honorary memberships in MHS.
\nAs part of the international cooperation of the Society, a delegation from MHS was present at the Annual Assembly of the Bulgarian Heraldry and Vexillology Society. MHS applied for membership in the International Confederation of Heraldry and Genealogy and is expected to be admitted as full member at the General Assembly of the Confederation to be held within the 29th International Congress of Genealogical and Heraldic and Sciences in Stuttgart, Germany, in September 2010.<\/p>\n
