Academician Radovan Pavlovski, one of the greatest Macedonian
contemporary poets, had been under surveillance of the communist
secret police, as "enemy of the state", and he was placed in a
category of those perpetrating "hostile propaganda".

This information was published in Macedonian literature magazine
Sintezi. In the latest issue, the Sintezi magazine quotes extracts
from police file on poet Pavlovski for the period 1958-1966.

According to paperwork, Pavlovski was tailed throughout the fruitful
poem writing period, including the time when he was on military
service in the Former Yugoslav Army (JNA).

Pavlovski is one of the most famous Macedonian poets and prominent
personality in Macedonian literature. He won a number of literature
prizes and recognitions.

His poetry was translated in some 30 languages. His poems are present
in a number of anthologies of world poetry.

In 2006, Pavlovski became a member of the Macedonian Academy of
Sciences & Arts (MANU). /end/
