Dear Colleagues,
 
I am in receipt of a request that I have not seen on the Internet.
In order to make this information more widely available, I am
posting this to several lists.  My appologies if you get more than
one copy.

Raymond Borneck, President, and Riccardo Jannoni-Sebastiani,
Secretary-General of Apimondia are issuing an appeal worldwide to
help Prof. Duro Sulimanovic, former member of the Apimondia
Executive Council and Representative of the Croatian Beekeepers'
Association.
 
Prof. Sulimanovic is in dire need of a kidney transplant.  Prof.
Ruttner has succeeded in getting Prof. Sulimanovic on the
international kidney transplant list (Eurotransplant), however,
$30,000 US is needed by the Austrian clinical hospital in Graz to
complete arrangements for the operation.  This is a huge amount of
money for anybody in Croatia, representing about five years' income
for a University Professor.
 
Mr. Jannoni-Sebastiani asks those who know Prof. Sulimanovi as a
scientist, teacher or person to please provide financial assistance
for this operation.  Cash deposits, possibly in DM or US$  can be
made by bank transfer to:
 
Bank Branch Office No.: 013900
Current Account No: 30110-621-112
Foreign Currency Account No: (14) 2551166940
Bank Address: Zagrebacka banka, Filijala Zapresic
Ulica Bana J. Jelacica 1, HR-10290 Zapresic, Croatia tel 385-1-
703055
 
Please indicate "fund raising for kidney transplantation" on the
documentation and please send a copy of the bank transfer to:
 
Dr. Ljerka Zeba
Veterinary Faculty-University of Zagreb
Dept. for Biology and Pathology of Fish and Bees
P.O. Box 190  Heinzelova, 55
HR-10001 Zagreb, Croatia
