On diesel and children’s lungs


Ljupco Popovski   Last week’s protests by employees at the Clinical Center about the amount of the monthly parking ticket for the staff were a surprise to the public, both for their fervor and their arguments of dissatisfaction.

Inability is rising to the surface


Aleksandar Nikoloski   As the end of the year approaches, the questions always arise – what was the year that passed like, whether we were happier, more dignified, richer, did it pass lightly or not. If we add to this also the costs that always appear at the end of the year for the various […]

The Kosovo Army as a pretext


Although we have become accustomed to tough and unmerciful words in politics, however, the attack by Sela and Kasami on Zaev because he spoke of “national communist barbarism” crosses some boundaries, and only because Zaev repeated Stoltenberg’s statement Gorgi Spasov The decision to form an army in Kosovo has been welcomed joyfully by Albanians in […]

We just can’t find the time to fight corruption


N: We just can’t find the time to fight corruption Forshpan: Forget the stories that the government insists on adopting the new law, and the opposition, which runs the Commission for Elections and Appointments, deliberately did not call a meeting.

Skopje


Nikola Popovski Skopje, the capital of our homeland and its most important administrative, political, economic, educational, health, cultural, transport and urban center is on the road to extinction.

Macedonian Machiavellianism: Satire and flattery


Ilo Trajkovski Some human dilemmas have lingered since the beginning of time. And they will last as long as there someone to philosophize, to think and act. To act either as a creator of new works, either as a passive social or as an apologist and an indecent man, whatever. So, nowadays we see, read […]

Justice for Ali


Goran Adamovski Next week will be exactly nine months since the Special Public Prosecutor’s Office, for the first and last time, has mentioned DUI leader Ali Ahmeti in its cases.

Let’s not sell Byzantine games to the Greeks


Erol Rizaov It seems like the new and old constitutionalists and constitution defenders are stepping out of line. The impression is that people have forgotten that it is a matter of several constitutional amendments that are part of a compromise strictly determined by the Prespa Agreement between Macedonia and Greece. The four amendments with concessions, […]

Gruevski’s escape and the myth of the EU


Zdravko Saveski Political scientist and member of Levica Nikola Gruevski’s escape brought delegitimation of the government in the last (and strongest) ground.

Ivanov’s disappearance


Erol Rizaov Is the state public prosecutor waiting for Gjorge Ivanov to flee the country, and then initiate an indictment against the president of the state, who committed serious crimes with obstruction of justice for many years, actively participates in blocking the realization of the most important strategic state interests, such as the Euro-Atlantic integrations […]

Complexes

Close your mouths, we are suffocating


Erol Rizaov The thing that all reasonable people thought, and for which the court inquiry needed evidence, began to unfold in court.

Impunity as an anti-principle


Nikola Popovski Many in and out of Macedonia warn that the anti-principle of de facto impunity for serious crimes in the country has been deeply rooted, that justice cannot be reached for anyone, or only a few, and that the procedures leading to open abuses and open crime by state authorities are most often covered […]

There cannot be amnesty for the “Fortress” case


Aleksandra M. Mitevska The current ruling government has hit a “minefield”, set probably in the period before the outbreak of the political crisis in the country, given the information that the devices for wiretapping the PBX in the new public prosecutor’s office date back to the still inviolable rule of VMRO-DPMNE. More precisely, from the […]

The uprising of Dervish Cara


Robert Nesimi In the world of books “The uprising of Dervish Cara” no doubt occupies a unique place.

The book was written in […]

Macedonia in the sign of turtle and crab
