Tolomakia is opening a funding program for NGOs and other civil society organizations around the Balkans. The total budget for the first year of activity was set at 75 millions euro.

The money will be available for projects and campaigns aiming to promote civil rights, human rights and political rights in any nation of the Balkans.

The funds can be requested by legally registered non-profit organizations. The applicants must submit a brief description of their proposed activities here and the answer will be given in several days.

(1) Do the proposed projects need to involve at least two countries or can they just concern activities in one country?

(2) Would this program give priority to projects coming from poorer countries versus projects coming from richer ones?

(1) Project can include activities in one or more countries.

(2) At this time, there will be made no distinction based on the wealth of the nation.

A note: projects proposed by civil society organizations from totalitarian and authoritarian countries will have priority.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. This is a praiseworthy initiative and we will encourage our NGOs to send applications to the program.

Excellencies: This is an excellent project that Tolomakia suggests, We will from Crown budget immediately contribute 100 million UBD to this project.
A proposal to add to this is before Dom Nobilis and Dom Narodni.
Best Wishes
Katarina of Zahumlje

Given our other commitments(arms purchases, national projects, relief efforts overseas), we are only able to contribute $50million at this time to this fund.

The generous contributions of Zahumlje and Byzantian raise a problem regarding the decision process.

For our contribution, decisions regarding the applications will be taken by the Freedom Fund Board, formed within the Tolomakian Government. This is not negotiable.

If the Governments of Zahumlje and Byzantian agree to entrust us with the decision on their contributions as well, we will be honored. If not, we are ready to discuss a practical procedure.

We would like to remind all NGOs and other civil society organizations that the Fund is open and we expect proposal. The application should be short (two or three paragraph on average) and clear (stating the object of the project, why is needed and what amount is requested) and should be posted on this thread.

With best regards,
Augustin Caramarin
Head of the Freedom Fund Board

It was assumed by us that you would be making the decisions.

This proposal is against the ideology of National Sovereignty. There exist too many bloated, bureaucratic Socialist non-government organisations that perform and attempt to enforce Poststructuralist ideas on nations and whose aim is to extend its own power and ideas.

I encourage other nations not to support this organisation, firstly because it infringes and affects A national Rule and the organisation will essentially be a toothless tiger. Secondly, because your funding will most likely be spent on construction of offices, paying of wages and advertising.

We respect Slavpo's Government decision not to support this fund.

However, given the adversity against civic sector shown by the Government in this country we are strongly encouraging civil society organizations to apply to the Freedom Fund.

With best regards,
Augustin Caramarin
Head of the Freedom Fund Board

The Islamic Republic of Srebnyia Official Communique:

I am Andoran Mohammed Tasnovic, representing the people of The Islamic Republic of Srebnyia.

As has been made aware to you all, my people have declared independence from Mostarvia.

We recognise our own independence, and Allah willing, we will succeed in establising a strong Islamic Srebnyia.

However, we ask for aid in achieving this, humanitarian, financial, and yes militarily. Anyway you you can.

Please consider.


Andoran Mohammed Tasnovic of The Srebnyia Islamic Guard.

The Kingdom of Slavpo refuses to support any breakaway ethic or religious region. We strongly condemn any nation that supports the aforementioned. If you support these rebels, you support anarchy.

We will withdrawl our funding, if this group is considered.

Official PRMU Mostarvian Government Statement:

Greetings to my fellow Balkans governments.

It has come to my attention that murderers, thugs and bandits from within Mostarvia's borders have applied for aid from your Freedom Fund.

I would like to express my thanks to all those who have and will refuse to give any form of support to these criminals, who are responsible for the murders of Mostarvian citizens.

I thank you, on behalf of Mostarvia, my people and government, for denying them any legitimate recognition for their criminal aims and acts.

Thankyou.

President Lodovic of The People's Red Mostar Union of Mostarvia

Dear Andoran Mohammed Tasnovic of The Srebnyia Islamic Guard,

While your organization can be described, in theory, as being a civil society organization, our initial statement is saying that:

"The money will be available for projects and campaigns aiming to promote civil rights, human rights and political rights in any nation of the Balkans."

Our board has analyzed your request and we can't find anything related to the above mentioned goals in your activities. Your actions are remarkably diminishing civil rights, human rights and political rights in your nation and, above all, they are killing people. Thus, we were forced to reject your request at this time.

With best regards,
Augustin Caramarin
Head of the Freedom Fund Board

The Islamic Republic of Srebnyia Official Communique:

You will live to regret this. Blood shall be on your hands.


Andoran Mohammed Tasnovic of The Srebnyia Islamic Guard.

Dear Andoran Mohammed Tasnovic of The Srebnyia Islamic Guard,

It is my duty to deliver you this short message from our Army: "if you hurt any Tolomakian citizen, then yes, your blood will be on our hands".

Please don't get me wrong, I am only delivering the message. The Fund has nothing to do with the Army. Don't let the previous rejection leting you down, you may also try reapplying with a new, better project.

With best regards,
Augustin Caramarin
Head of the Freedom Fund Board

The Islamic Republic of Srebnyia Official Communique:

No army or country can withstand the will of Allah should it oppose Allah's will, they will be destroyed.

Blood would run down the streets of Tolomakia, and not only will the blood of Tolomakians be on your hands, but all over you and your country too.


Andoran Mohammed Tasnovic of The Srebnyia Islamic Guard.

Official PRMU Mostarvian Government Statement:


I, on behalf of my people and government of Mostarvia, thank those who have rejected the murderers who act in our borders from being given funds.

You will be pleased to hear Andoran Mohammed Tasnovic is now in Mostarvian custody, and Mostarvian justice will be enacted, and his organisation of killers is now no more. I apologise for any inconveniance his thuggery has caused.



President Lodovic of The People's Red Mostar Union of Mostarvia

Excellencies: This news comes as a great relief to myself on a personal level and of course to Her Majesty's Government. Congradulations. The alleged would be assasin is under questioning at Goli Otok and is talking. It is expected that important information will be made available to Mostarvia soon.

The Committee for Srebnyia Self-Autonomy


Salaam.

The cause for Srebnyian Self-Autonomy is nothing new. However, our voice is rarely heard in the Mostarvian, and indeed the regional, media.

Recently, the actions of The so called Srebnyia Islamic Guard have understandly cast a shadow on the cause of Srebnyia self-autonomy from Mostarvian rule.

We must add that we deplore and condemn the actions of this organisation, but not the cause.

Peacefully, our committee strives for self autonomy, and a peaceful co-existence with the peoples of Mostarvia and other Balkan nations.

The military actions by Mostarvia in the Srebnyia region, whilst understandable, is harming this chance of co-existence and peace in Srebnyia.

We hereby call for a meeting with Mostarvian President Lodovic to discuss Srebnyia self autonomy and the withdrawl of Mostarvian troops in a peaceful manner.

We are also greatly concerned by the presence of Edessian troops on Srebnyian soil. This is uneccesary, uncalled for, and seems to be a game of advantage by the Edessians. We call for them to withdraw.

As we peacefully strive for freedom, The Committee for Srebnyia Self-Autonomy requests aid.

Mohammed Tanotskovic, Head of The Committee for Srebnyia Self-Autonomy.

The Freedom Fund is happy to support The Committee for Srebnyia Self-Autonomy for the following type of activities:

- institutional support: renting and equiping offices, Internet and phone acces, wages for administrative staff: 100.000 euro

- advocacy campaignes for self autonomy: 200.000 euro

- organizing a referendum to determine the will of the population: 100.000 euro

- organizing meetings between citizens and authorities: 150.000 euro

- preparing a draft law for autonomy: 50.000 euro

Total amount: 600.000 euro.

With best regards,
Augustin Caramarin
Head of the Freedom Fund Board

The Committee for Srebnyia Self-Autonomy

Salaam!

We thank you on behalf of the people of Srebnyia for this kind gift to achieve our freedom.

Be safe in the knowledge you are giving oxygen to a genuine cause.

Thankyou so much. I cry tears of joy on this occasion.


Mohammed Tanotskovic, Head of The Committee for Srebnyia Self-Autonomy.







Official PRMU Mostarvian Government Statement:


I, my government and people are absolutely disgusted and sickened by this move of financial support to this group, who I feel are nothing more than a front for The killers and terrorists who haunt our soil of Srebnyia region.

Withdraw the financial aid you have given for their unmerited and illegal cause which has no foundation, for the region is Mostarvian.

Now.

President Lodovic of The People's Red Mostar Union of Mostarvia

Excellencies: Seeking automomy by democratic means, the ballot box and negotiation is a very different matter from seeking independance. Her Majesty's Government is not against a democratic process in this matter. It is probably not understood by outsiders to Zahumlje, but the most heavily Muslim regions of Zahumlje, Vrhbosna and Istocna Sandzak have Autonomous Self Management government, essentially the central government handles foreign policy, defence and border crossing/customs issues, but the local affairs have always been run by the local people, The same situation obtains in areas where the predominant ethnicities are Zahumljani-Hrvatski, and Zahumljani Serbian. Admittedly the Zahumljani Serbian autonomous area, Raska is now part of Srpska Kosovo to which this land was ceded, so there is effectively no Serbian presence sufficient to any longer have a Serbian Autonomous Self Management Area. This is what was meant earlier when Her Majesty's Government suggested allowing Zahumljani experts in this sort of negotiation to help.
Previously you had only violent insurgents to deal with and quite properly the response was violent. The same would have happened in Zahumlje in the same circumstances.
But as they say, 'That was then, this is now'.
There is a non-violent entity present for negotiation. This is a good thing. This is how this sort of problem is solved.
Imam Hodza Nasrudin
Foreign Minister of Zahumlje
Reis al Ulema

The financial aid was granted and it will be maintained. The Freedom Fund is for designed to help people which are seekeing freedom. It is the right of people of Srebnyia to decide what kind of freedom they desire. This is why we have included in our support funds to organize a referendum. We recommend to the Government of Mostravia to work with the local authorities in organizing the referendum and find out what is the will of the people. We trust other nations that they will send independent observers to ensure that the free will of the people will be reflected in the results of the consultation.

If necessary, furhter funds will be made available for organizing the referendum and for international observers' expenses.

With best regards,
Augustin Caramarin
Head of the Freedom Fund Board

Official PRMU Mostarvian Government Statement:

To Imam Hodza Nasrudin, Foreign Minister of Zahumlje and Augustin Caramarin
Head of the 'Freedom' Fund Board,

The people who live in the Srebnyian region of Mostarvia, are Mostarvian, there is no question of Mostarvians seeking self autonomy from Mostarvia, this is just plain absurd and would lead to disorder.

No. The entirity of Mostarvia comes under Mostarvian Government control, anything else is out of the question.

Iman Hodza Nasrudin, you say they are non violent, well they speak the same rubbish about freedom as the killers, and he who lies with dogs, catches fleas.

There is no problem, no crisis, no people striving for a noble freedom, this is just power hungry killers who wish to rule their own 'nation'.


Absurd!

No referendum will be held.

Upon my orders, the assets and accounts of the so called 'The Committee for Srebnyia Self-Autonomy' have been seized and frozen.

The 600.000 Euros your fund donated to these terrorists will be put forward to a find to aid the people of the Srebnyia region, who have been injured, made homeless, the displaced or have been orphaned.

The terrorists you attempted to sponsor, who would use that money against Mostarvian civillians and soldiers, will not see a single Euro.


Nonetheless, you should all be ashamed of yourselves.

The government and people of Mostarvia view you with grim and horrific awareness as to now what you stand for: Sponsoring terrorism, sponsoring enemies of Mostarvia to attack Mostarvia.


President Lodovic of The People's Red Mostar Union of Mostarvia




The Committee for Srebnyia Self-Autonomy

Salaam.

Please do not let them do this to us....please, I, we beg of you on behalf of the people of Srebnyia....please.....please in the name of Allah and freedom, don't let them do this.

Don't let them crush us, don't let them suffocate us and our freedom.


Please......I beg of you....do something....

Mohammed Tanotskovic, Head of The Committee for Srebnyia Self-Autonomy.

Following a recent request received from The Committee for Srebnyia Self-Autonomy, Freedom Fund has decided to further support this peaceful movement.

The CSSA’s operations headquarters outside Mostarvia will receive 850.000 euros for institutional development. The money will help serve:

- 300.000 for education purposes. Up to 20 young Srebnyians will receive post-graduate education in law, social sciences and economics. They will be the future Srebnyian representatives in negotiations with the Mostarvian Government. The beneficiaries are free to chose any University in the Balkans

- 200.000 euros for administrative expenses. Considering the recent violent actions in Srebnyia we have agreed not to disclose the current locations of the CSSA headquarters outside Mostarvia

- 350.000 euros for advocacy. The CSSA will start a program aiming to advocate human rights in the Balkans

We apologize for the lack of transparency of the negotiations that have lead to this agreement.

Augustin Caramarin
Head of the Freedom Fund Board

Following the recent developments in Edessia, Freedom Fund is making a special call for Edessian organizations. We are welcoming projects aiming to promote civil and political rights in this nation.

A broad range of events and activities can be financed. The ultimate goal of the project should be limiting the power of the two dictators and restoring a democratic political framework in Edessia.

With best regards,
Augustin Caramarin
Head of the Freedom Fund Board

Freedom Fund to help Mostarvian refugees

Freedom Fund has opened today a special funding line amounting to 20 millions euro to help Mostarvian refugees. Following the Mostarvian government’s recent crimes against humanity (killing unarmed civilians) it is expected that many Srebnyians will try to escape in Annoystan, Zamuhlje and Hrvatska. The funding will be available for non-profit organizations and local authorities in these countries that will open and maintain shelters for refugees, as well as for those organizations that will provide food, water, closing, medical, educational and religious services.

Freedom Fund is welcoming the help of central authorities in the above mentioned countries whenever the local organizations do not have the required managerial skills.

With best regards,
Augustin Caramarin
Head of the Freedom Fund Board

Radio Free Mostarvia is on the air!

Freedom Fund has accepted the request of a group of Mostarvian journalists in exile and starting tomorrow a new radio will broadcast: Radio Free Mostarvia (RFM).

RFM will have programs in Mostarvian language and will present to the people of Mostarvia the real face of the dictatorship in their country.

At the moment RFM HQ is located in Tolomakia but we are looking for a new location in a country closer to Mostarvia. Any offers will be welcome.

With best regards,
Augustin Caramarin
Head of the Freedom Fund Board

OFFICIAL MOSTARVIAN GOVERNMENT STATEMENT:

I and the people and government of The People's Red Mostar Union Of Mostarvia, is disgusted, but not surprised by Tolomakia's 'Freedom Fund' support of Counter Revolutionaries intent on breaking up the Union of Mostarvia to seize power for their power hungry selves, who support the SIG terrorists.

These counter-revolutionaries are hereby charged with treason.

Your radio station will not last long. It will not be tolerated by any Mostarvian who is a patriot and not a traitor.
