Our vision is to build a network of web-portals. Nothing more, nothing less. We are well aware that such is not a modest aspiration for a tiny-weehy firm like ours. Never the less, we have been trying and we feel that we are making progress.
Our different sites are very much linked and one can hop from one to the other with ease. We find the concept unbeatable. From Albania in the west to Bulgaria, on the east and then from Cyprus or way south in North Africa, to Egypt and then closer home, to Greece or further away to Turkey and then off to France, Germany, The Netherlands, UK or, for that matter, Australia - there is but a click which is not ever a technological feature. These countries, they are so very much related and those relationship are mostly oblique but very often quite straight-forward whether in the historical, political or other context. The Earthquake or the Skopje Earthquake with the newsreel site Horizons provide the anchor points. But then, what is the unique aspect of this network when there are hundreds of thousands of internet pages dedicated to the domains which are solely ours?
The first and foremost aspect of the network is that it is built as one. There is not a second similar construction on the world wide web. take, for example, www.turkey.com on one side and compare it with www.greece.com then www.egypt.com and www.france.com although you can try www.bulgaria.com or www.australia.com on the other side.
All these sites are totally unrelated: as if Turkey, Greece and Bulgaria were not neighbouring countries with so much shared (often vividly turbulent) history but unknown kingdoms from three different planets circling in three far-away different solar systems at that. We do not find that wrong nor we suggest anything: what we want to do is something absolutely different. That is one aspect of our vision.

We believe that with contributions from our visitors that it is possible to build a referential network which will affirm or assert itself on the world wide web as the foremost resorce for all the open-minded surfers irrelevant of their ethnic background.
We shall do everything we possibly can to provide piles of useful, regularly updated information totally independent of PR influence. This does not mean we tajke an oath to extend prices in eurocents about every single private room offered on Mykonos or Rhodes or anywhere. We simply want to say that our network will publish everything relevant about the various destinations it covers.
The aim is relatively simple and is based on the expected growth of Internet surfers among the 250 million Slavs. Most of them do not reffer to Greece as "Greece" but as "Grcija". Thus, since www.greece.com or, for that matter the first substitute www.greece.net and so forth were sold out internet lightyears ago, we have bought www.grcija.com. Irrelevant whether those who surf need to know English, the fact remains that in some near future there will be others who will be more than happy to gather information or interact with a portal about Greece but in their own language.
The same goes for Turkey. Or Turkiye. Slovens and Russian and Macedonians and Bulgarians refer to Turkey as "Turcija" and although they may call it or write it slightly differently - that is how they have to type it to open a sight in their own language.
So we bought turcija.net and turcija.biz, we also have germanija.com and avstralija.com supported with egipet.com, francija.net, britanija.com, albanija.com, bugarija.com and so forth. Thus
prior to developing a detailed concept of every portal or site, our firm had first bought and secured domain-names for the network.
