The inspiration for the title is, of course, the situation in which our entire country is this week, especially the 120 …

Zdravko Saveski The government could not have made a bigger fool of itself than it did with the series of moves at the end of last year.

Petar Arsovski it seems that 2019 will be our year. Hold on, don’t celebrate just yet. 2019 will be our year, but not because everything will go as smoothly, but because everything will depend on us most. This is, for the most part, bad news. The second half of 2018, as Florian Bieber concluded, was …

Zdravko Saveski While the majority of citizens barely make ends meet, the minority rich and ultra-rich do not know which luxury to throw away money at first. This is Macedonia today.
