Collaboration with Stremez

[edit]

The Enchanting Verses collaborated with the Macedonian literary magazine Stremez in March 2011 to contribute to cultural exchange through poetry between Macedonia and the rest of the world.[7][8][9] This collaboration has received special mentions in the Diplomatic Bulletin of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Macedonia along with other international media.[10][11]

The Enchanting Poet
