NL Chamber was established on 18 January 2012 and the tenth anniversary of that fact was celebrated with a 21-dish Indonesian rice table at winery Chateau Kamnik, Skopje.
Since 2016 the NL Chamber anniversary has been a unique experience with a specially crafted menu - with dishes unknown to most of our members - in a warm, cosy atmosphere. For NL Chamber’s Chef Paul Houthuijzen and Nicole Schönbeck, the tenth Dies Natalis celebration meant a challenge to exceed all pre vious achievements, both in richness of the dishes as well as the number of servings.
five people, three days Paul and Nicole spent three days in the kitchens of winery Chateau Kamnik to prepare no less than 21 dishes to compose a full Indonesian rice table for a record number of guests. They got supported by two Dutch
friends visiting Skopje as well as Sara Trajkovska, student at the gastronomy high school. unique piece of art
To such a jubilee also belongs an appropriate present and preferably as unique as the event itself. NL Chamber’s president Olgica Naumovska proposed to have a local artist create a bicycle of silverplated wire.

The 10 years of NL Chamber history were captured in a co lourful 76-page book, also pro viding an overview of all current 64 members. The first copy of the book and the bicy cle were presented to ambassador Dirk Jan Klop.

Although NL Chamber’s birth day is on 18 January, last year’s Dies Natalis celebration was postponed to summer due to the pandemic. That inspired us to also move the celebration of the tenth anniversary to the summer season, creating the possibility to have an outdoor event.
However, June is known for heavy rainfall - and exactly that was predicted for the date of the celebration! The tents caused a change of the scenery, but in the end the weather was mild without any of the ex pected thunderstorms.
Various people who played a role in the early days of the chamber were present as well, like honorary member Wim Westen, co-initiator Adriaan van der Flier, former board member Marta Naumovska
Grnarova and lawyer Dori Kimova. As a long-term partner Zlatko Veterovski was present for the Customs Authority. Also present was Suzana Stoj kovska, owner of restaurant Oreov Lad where NL Chamber had its Dies Natalis celebra tions for four years in a row.
For several members the chamber also means a net work of friends: tips and tricks, some good advice, experience and inspiration, but above all pleasant conversations and a good laugh. In this spirit Thijs Zomer and Jan Zwiers, the entrepreneurs behind natural stone importer NG and microinvestment fund Microdonia, regularly arrange for new in troductions. Both had become close friends with Zoran Roso manov, owner of printing house Bato & Divajn. After Zoran passed away in Novem ber 2020, Thijs and Jan kept in touch with his family and now was the time to introduce his
wife, Nevenka Rosomanova to the network of friends.
marriage postponed Thijs and Jan also brought their long-term touristic services provider in Ohrid, Lale Tours to the celebration. Christiaan Basoski took over the business from his father Dimitri and as Thijs revealed, Christiaan and his fiancé Elisabeth Torn post poned their marriage (i.e. the signing at the municipality) with one day to be able to at tend the Dies Natalis!
The practice at the Dies Natalis is to use the walk-in for making new connections during a welcome drink and leave the sea ting arrangements develop spontaneously. The pictures on these pages proof the lively conversations at every table.Elisabeth and Christiaan, Lale Tours
After two years of postponements followed by cancella tions, PLMA’s World of Private Label finally took place again on 31 May and 1 June at Am sterdam exhibition centre RAI. This trade fair by the Private Label Manufacturers Associa tion presents food and nonfood manufacturers from all over the world to the global retail sector.
Six Macedonian companies, amongst which our members Vitalia and Vitaminka participated. NL Chamber took the opportunity to introduce the Macedonian ambassador to the Netherlands, Beti Jaceva, to all these companies. Other Mace donian companies, amongst which printing house Kiro Dan daro from Bitola, joined the trade fair as visitor. Vitalia showcased three new product lines in the exclusive New Product Expo section.
Since his arrival in summer 2019, this was the first time for ambassador Dirk Jan Kop to host a King’s Day reception, which took place in the sunny garden of the Dutch residency in the village of Bardovci. With a significantly smaller capacity than the mass celebrations in the past, the event had a more intimate and exclusive atmos phere. Amongst the guests were also the Macedonian managers of Dutch-owned companies.
A Dutch folklore musician was especially flown in to perform both the Dutch and the Macedonian national anthem on accordion. Without mastering the Macedonian language, he had learnt the lyrics by heart and he performed the anthem crystal clear without any mistakes or even a strong accent!
On Tuesday 21 June the Nether lands Enterprise Agency RvO organized the Balkan Business Day in The Hague. Represen tatives of the Dutch embas sies in, as well as the foreign embassies of Bosnia Herzego vina, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Albania and North Mace donia were present to inform the business community about the opportunities. Several en trepreneurs shared their ex periences with doing business on the Balkans while RvO and EBRD presented the options for financial support.
regulations
The EU is to implement the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) by November 2023. Travel Authorisations will be charged 7 EUR.
In November 2016 the European Commission proposed to implement a European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) to streng then the border security of the Schengen area.
Visa-exempt non-EU citizenslike Macedonians - will be required to apply electronically through website or app for an authorisation to travel to any Schengen member-state. ETIAS will automatically check the application with various databases and either provide a travel authorisation or flag
the application for manual processing. Carriers (airlines, couch and shipping compa nies) will deny boarding to passengers without a travel authorisation, while travellers with other means of transport will also be able to apply for an authorisation at kiosks at the borders.
ETIAS is expected to become operational by November 2023 and authorisations will be charged 7 EUR. An authorisa tion remains valid for three years or until the expiry date of the passport.
The Macedonian government proposed changes to article 403 of the Criminal Code that classify certain traffic viola tions as crimes. The proposed changes provide for sentences from fines to up to three years of prison for driving under in fluence of 1.5 promille alcohol,
speeding with at least 70 km/h above the speed limit and other violations that are to be considered “reckless driving”. The proposed changes follow the example of Croatia from 2011 and are expected to come into effect by the end of this year.
board
All three members of the Board received a mandate for another three years.
The General Assembly (GA) took place on 18 May at Fey dom’s flagship store in Skopje. After two years of pandemic all Board members expressed the desire to continue for a second mandate of three years. The GA agreed unanimously and also approved the proposal to add the reserves built up du ring the pandemic to the bud get for the 10th Dies Natalis.

NL Chamber members increasingly initiate activities for the greater good of the local society, for example in education, sports and environmental care. Below is an overview of the current initiatives.

The housing project Sluishuis in the newly developed Amster dam neighbourhood IJburg has won the Residential Building of the Year 2022 award. The complex of 442 apartments was designed by Barcode Ar chitects from Rotterdam and BIG from Copenhagen. The design is based on a clas sical courtyard building revitalized by two transformations. Towards the urban district the block steps down like a cascade of landscaped terraces, creating a natural transition from cityscape to smallerscale, natural surroundings. At the IJ lake side, the block opens up to let the water take part in the courtyard.
