After leaving pris on, he lives in Skopje for a while, and once he has obtained a travel document he goes to Sweden, where he prepares the program for forming a national political party in Mace donia (which political program will be pub lished in the newspaper “Mlad Borec”).
According to Dragan Bogdanovski, that party should be called “Democratic Party of Macedonian National Unity” DPMNE. Education intellectual and visionary of the future of political action in Macedonia, Dragan Bogdanovski in 1990 together with Goyko Yakovleski from Berlin, meet in Mu nich, where a decision is made to form a party called VMRO. Vlado Trantalovski from Resen, Boris Zmejkovski and Ljupco Geor gievski are also attending the meeting. the party is formed and registered in Macedo nia.
At the first VMRO-DPMNE congress held in Prilep on April 6 and 7, 1991, Dragan Bog danovski was elected honorary president of the party, and from 1991 to 1993 is the presi dent of the VMRO-DPMNE’s Boundary Com mittee for Europe.
Very quickly (among the first) he realizes his delusion about the election of Ljupco Geor gievski for the party president whose direct azine “Macedonian Line” and “Free Macedo nia”, then prints the newspaper “Macedonia” magazine “Macedonian nation” and so on. His activity was mostly expressed as an initiator for the establishment of numer ous political organizations of Macedonians abroad.
The aforementioned newspapers have a great response to the Macedonian emigration. It actually begins to awaken Macedonians and Macedonians in the world. In 1963 the establishment of the first Macedonian national organization OKM (Mac edonian Liberation Committee), which was established in 1972. is being transformed into DOOM (Movement for Liberation and Unification of Macedonia).

The theft of his printing house in Munich (from Oslo to Brussels to Munich) is staged, in which the magazine “Macedonian Nation” is printed.
For the sake of truth, the SDB does not take any action to completely eliminate Dragan Bogdanovski’s activity, since he de fended his struggle to prevent the activities of various foreign propagandists, political or church institutions that the Macedoni ans employed or then popularly called “Tem porary Work Abroad”. “, Floods them with pro-Greek, pro-Bulgarian and other propa ganda activities, such as” Pan-Macedonians “,” MPO “by Vanco Mihajlov,” Slavic Com mittee “of the NBR and other institutions of the neighboring countries of Macedonia her.
Dragan Bogdanovski was a great fighter against all those who denied the existence of the Macedonian nation and the Mace donian ethnic identity. During that period (1958-1977) the biggest battle was against Vancho Mihailov’s “MPO”. In fact, Dragan Bogdanovski will be qual ified for the first time as an opponent of Yugoslavia, after meeting Vlado Dapcevic, one of the creators of the “New CPY”, formed with the support of the then USSR, who thus wanted to translate Yugoslavia into the then Socialist contract. In a clearing action with the “dangerous immigrant circles”, a decision was made to bring Dragan Bogdanovski to Yugoslavia and prosecute him. In 1977 he was head of DOOM. Dragan is abducted in Paris and brought to Yugoslavia. He was abducted by members of the then SDB in the apartment of another member of DOOM, and transport ed to Ljubljana and later to Skopje by a dip lomatic vehicle.
He was blindfolded and tak en to a police station near Makedonski Brod where he was investigated for 18 months. The trial against him is being held behind closed doors, with the case sentenced to 13 years in prison, of which he is serving 11 years in Idrizovo Prison. After leaving pris on, he lives in Skopje for a while, and once he has obtained a travel document he goes to Sweden, where he prepares the program for forming a national political party in Mace donia (which political program will be pub lished in the newspaper “Mlad Borec”).
