Hi.<br>
Good news coming from UNESCO - Bulgarian Irina Bokova is the next Director-General.<br>
She ran an Internet campaign, as well, and if we want ISOC to enhance relations with UNESCO, I'd be happy to help.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Veni<br>

PARIS - UNESCO says a career diplomat from Bulgaria has defeated a controversial Egyptian candidate to head the United Nations agency for culture and education.<br>
The chairman of UNESCO's executive board says Bulgaria's ambassador to France, Irina Bokova, has beaten longtime Egyptian Culture Minister Farouk Hosny in secret balloting.<br>
UNESCO's press office says Bokova won 31 to 27 Tuesday in a suspenseful fifth round.<br>
