TEAM UZUNOV WORLD EXCLUSIVE - Australian immigration files marked secret - National Archives of Australia. BLAGOJE SAMBEVSKI - A year before death banned from entering Australia by Sasha Uzunov In 1974 a Macedonian anti-Communist dissident Blagoja Sambevski, an opponent of Titos Yugoslavia and Secretary of the emigre organisation DOOM (Movement for the Liberation and Unification of Macedonia), was found dead at the hotel he was working at as a night porter in Munich, West Germany. A year before his death he had been rejected by Australias security services from entering the country on a tourist visa to visit a relative by marriage. Sambevski had been granted political asylum in Germany. TEAM UZUNOV - WORLD EXCLUSIVE - BLAGOJE SAMBEVSKI, DOOM LEADER FROM GERMANY DENIED VISA TO VISIT AUSTRALIA IN 1973. It is believed pressure from Yugoslavia on the Australian government led to denial of visa... A Commonwealth Police Force (the forerunner of the Australian Federal Police) report, reveals that Blagoje Sambevski had applied for a visa to visit Melbourne, Australia. The Commonwealth Police took notice of Sambevski in 1972 when he was elected Vice-President of the OKM - Osloboditelen Komitet Na Makedonija - Committe for the Liberation of Macedonia. At a World Congress of Macedonian nationalists held in April 1972 in Munich, a split occured within OKM, a right wing became DOOM or DOM (Dvizenje za Osloboduvanje i Obedinuvanje na Makedonija) of which Sambevski had become Vice-President. A left wing made up of Macedonian activists who had lived in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe took over OKM and set up headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. DOOM, according to the Commonwealth Police, had a falling out with a Croatian nationalist group which was willing to allegedly sacrifice Macedonia to communist Bulgaria [under Soviet control] for supporting Croatian independence.... DOOM in Australia saw itself as countering pro-Yugoslav propaganda. Sambevski planned to visit his brother in law, Ivan Civcic, a Croat. Sambevskis wife, Zora Dolic, was Croatian. teamuzunovmedia.blogspot.au/2014/08/blagoje-sambevski-year-before-death.html
