Dear Mrs.Vuco,
Today I called your offices, in order to get information for the letter I sent on the 14th May 2009. Miss Kathryn directed me to send you the letter because you're in charge of the Balkans.
Best regards,
Jordan Petrovski

Dear Mr. Soros,
With all due respect to you and your time and personality, I would like to address you regarding your philanthropic and charitable activities connected with the building and encouraging of democracy and open societies - something that you have successfully supported and encouraged for the last 30 years.
I am Jordan Petrovski, political refugee in Canada, by birth Macedonian, who not by my goodwill had to leave my native Macedonia several years ago. I am submitting you two documents as an attachment:
The first document is why I had to leave:
Notice from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Republic of Macedonia with which they are informing me that there is CONFIRMED OF AN EXISTENCE of a personal dossier for political and ideological reasons. From it you can see the reasons why I became the first political refugee in Canada in times when Macedonia formally left the old communist system and transited toward multi-party democracy, in fact the dossier was open by the end of 1992.
The second document shows how a democratic state reacted to this persecution (in this case Canada) in order to protect me from police torture, because of different ideological - non-communist, democratic ideals:
NOTICE OF DECISION from Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada
The issues to which I would like to get your attention are the activities of the foundation-Open Society Institute Macedonia and its’ executive director Mr. Vladimir Milchin. In fact, it is the inactivity or acting in opposite direction of the goals of the foundation – those of building democracy, human rights, economic, legal and social reform, encouragement of the independence of the media and fighting corruption that I want to focus on.
My claim would be explained through three examples, all connected to the process of liberating the public institutions from former members of the secret services in Macedonia, commonly known as the process of Lustration. I believe that you know that Lustration as a process in the countries of the former Socialist system is one of the key processes in order for one society to become truly open, successfully to complete transition from one-party system to parliamentary democracy, which with efficient institutions and reforms will transform the state into a powerful democracy, worthy enough to become a member of the community of progressive states and peoples in the world.
The process of Lustration was completed by many Eastern European countries. The results from those processes are impressive, because those societies liberated themselves from the baggage of former secret police collaborators and their superiors who were responsible for the many mass and drastic violations of human rights.
This process in Macedonia has just formally started last year with the adoption of the law for Lustration. I say formally, because even though the law has been passed after much hardship and many compromises amongst the political elites, it is still far away from being enforced. One of the reasons why the law was dragged were the past (last year) parliamentary and these years’ local and presidential elections, when the candidates were obliged to sign a statement that they were not collaborators of the former secret services.
Speaking about the weak political climate for passing this law and the numerous obstructions of its passage and enforcement, I would like to state the first moment of poor conduct of the first person of the foundation Open Society Institute Macedonia, Mr. V. Milchin. In fact, last year during the political debates over passing the law for Lustration, the executive director of your foundation in Macedonia came out in public with negative comments for parts of the law. After it was passed together with another gentleman announced that they would be bringing an initiative to the Constitutional court to revoke the law.
Dear Mr. Soros, my modest understanding of certain things makes me conclude that some sort of obstructionism of the implementation of one of the most important processes for successfully transiting of the former socialist societies into modern functional democracies, in this case obstructed by Mr. Milchin for functioning of the legal process of Lustration in Macedonia, is in complete opposite direction with the general policies and goals of your foundation. Regardless that such a request by Mr. Milchin is hidden or formally motivated from respecting of human rights through the alleged unconstitutional resolutions of the law.
The second example of inaction of your foundation in Macedonia, represented by Mr. Milchin, is my personal example shown in my lawsuit for violation of my human rights through secret surveillance and other activities of the secret police, enforced during the period of 1992-1998, for which as evidence I supplied my police dossier, legally obtained from MVR in 2000.
I initiated a lawsuit to the public attorney’s office, but unfortunately after a long wait my lawsuit was rejected on a formality – that I had filed my lawsuit after the legal 10 years of the date of the offence had passed. The explanation was that I had been deregistered as a subject of interest of the secret police on November 18th, 1997. But I have in my possession another official note done on me from the agents dated six months afterwards and which is in my dossier – and with those additional six months I was well within the allotted time frame.
After this I initiated a private citizens’ lawsuit to the superior court of Skopje (the process is undergoing) and for additional violation of my human rights in the case of the jurisdictional judiciary I notified the media, the European ombudsman and the representative of the European Union Mr. Erwan Fouerre.
Although in the last several months much of the media in Macedonia wrote about my case in detail and even though my case is in one of its parts very similar with the case of Mr. V. Milchin, not even himself, or your foundation in Macedonia, did anything to help me in my road in seeking justice.
Here is the similarity: Mr. Milchin himself was under the observation of the services in the old regime. His surveillance ended in 1987 when he was deregistered. But, according to him stated in the newspaper “Nova Makedonija”, even though formally it was written that he was deregistered in July 1987, in his dossier he found an Official Note from August of the same year. Mr. Milchin claims that he consulted an expert on the issue, a former high functionary of the former East German Secret police Stasi, who told him that that is evidence that his police observation continued even after the stated date when he was formally deregistered from the police.
The third example maybe is more indicative. The last presidential election and the candidacy of Ljubomir Frckovski minister of police 1992-1995, the same period when the my dossier was opened and when the persecution was the hardest (I’ll submit to you one of the plans and the measures which were used).
With the Lustration Law the candidate Ljubomir Frckovski was obliged to sign a statement that he did not cooperate with the services and that he did not give orders for the following of political opponents and ideologically different minded people - in the dossier I am characterized as an ANTICOMMUNIST. Frckovski gave the orders, yet he committed perjury by signing the statement claiming otherwise. I, respecting the law, prepared AN INITIATIVE addressed to the Commission for Verification of Facts, whose jurisdiction was to check the statement of the candidate L. Frckovski. But the Commision did not want to accept my initiative, with the explanation that they did not have offices. This was reported in the public through the media in Macedonia. Mr. Milchin as an executive director of the foundation did not say a word regarding this event. This ominous silence as well as the vigor with which he openly stood behind the candidacy of Ljubomir Frckovski is what caused me to address you with this letter.
Dear Mr. Soros, these examples of action, that is to say - inaction of Mr. Milchin, who is the leader of your foundation in Macedonia, in my humble opinion, are good examples of how one noble and philatropical idea and intention can be misused, and the ending goals placed under a question mark. Because if your foundation and its leading man are not involved or take the wrong side in the struggle for Lustration - a political process with the final goal of protection of human rights - then what can be said for the fulfillment of the primary goals of the foundation in Macedonia? Integration and the rights of the Roma minority - program goals of your foundation in Macedonia for this year are an empty rhetoric and wasteful spending of money and energy, if the foundation, does not commits itself truly in the process of Lustration – a founding process for achieving the general goals of democracy.
I am very familiar with the motives of Mr. Vladimir Milchin, up until recently a member of the Central committee of the Social-Democratic Alliance of Macedonia (SDSM), (a party during whose reign my dossier was opened and Mr. V. Milchin was part of that government), a party which is a legal and ideological successor of Socialistic Party of Macedonia - the communist party that ruled the country from 1945 until 1990. But I would not like your reaction to be based on that fact. Evaluate the actions of Mr. Milchin as the first man of your foundation through the examples I have given you regarding Lustration, as well as for the other questionable policies of your foundation in Macedonia, such as the aiding if political campaigns of one of the political parties masked as citizens’ initiatives; or as a failure of the many smaller non-governmental organizations which operate under the hat of your foundation and for which your money is spent - that can be learned by your associates through a deep analysis and revision of the work of the foundation in Macedonia.
At the end I am obliged to apologize for the time I have taken away from you and to express my thanks that you will spend time on my letter. Attached to this letter I am sending you the scanned above mentioned documents and I am available for contact and additional information.
Best regards,
Jordan Petrovski
