The U.S. Embassy in Stockholm alerts American citizens residing in and traveling to Sweden that the Iraq Compact Annual Review Conference will take place in Stockholm from May 28 to 30, 2008. According to the official website (www.icistockholm.se ), the conference is an intergovernmental conference at the ministerial level. Invitations to all Member States of the UN have been issued by Iraq and the UN. A number of international and regional intergovernmental organizations have also been invited. During this period, expect some street closures and traffic restrictions around major hotels.

Current: 1500 SEK
Goal: 1500 SEK
Yay! We have reached our goal with the help of eight anonymous donors. Thanks so much!
____________
Those who've been here a while know what this is. It's an annual thing this time of year, started by the founder of the site, Flame. I am continuing on in that tradition, since Amerikanska is really your site.
Amerikanska is a non-profit and ad-free site. All work on the site is done voluntarily.
However, hosting a website costs money.
Currently, it's 1500 SEK per year. That includes costs for hosting the site and the domain, which comes due again in September. We had been talking about moving the website to another host, but decided that the excellent service provided by Datakultur could not be rivaled.
If you're able, please help keep Amerikanska going with a donation to help cover these costs. All donations go to the cost of hosting only, no one is paid to maintain it, not even myself. Only a maximum of 1500:- in donations will be accepted. In the event it happens to go over that, additional donations will be held to pay for the domain name and/or held for next year's costs.
Donations are voluntary, helping to keep the site both ad-free and free to use, which it has been since 2001.

no consular trip to provide American citizen services in Gothenburg
during Spring of 2008. We expect to return to western Sweden in the
fall of 2008 and will announce details when information becomes
available.

Amerikanska is a non-profit and ad-free site. All work on the site is done voluntarily.
However, hosting a website costs money.
Currently, it's 1200 SEK per year. The costs for hosting the site may be changing sometime this year, as we hope to move the site to our own webhost rather then pay for two separate hosting services. Upgrading our account to accomodate Amerikanska will cost a little extra, initially, but will lower the total cost by almost half of what it is right now, while upgrading the services. So, next year's drive will require less in donations!
If you're able to, please help keep Amerikanska going with a donation to help cover these costs. All donations go to the cost of hosting only, noone is paid to maintain it, not even myself. Only a maximum of 1200:- in donations will be accepted. In the event it happens to go over that, additional donations will be held to pay for the domain name and/or held for next year's costs.
