Steve Pljakas is a man who looks with great feelings and patriotism at everything related to his ancestral land, ethnic Macedonia. At the same time, he is the defender and affirmer of the history and honor of the Macedonian people and Macedonia in the world, especially in Canada, and in recent years in the United States of America (Florida), where he resides during the winter months of the year.
