Aleksandra M. Mitevska Just as the unveiling of the “Racket” scandal has compromised proceedings in the “Empire” case, leaking of businessman Orce Kamchev’s statement has compromised the investigation into a case involving suspected and detained special prosecutor Katica Janeva and the possible connection of officials from the political top. Kamchev is the main suspect in …
Aleksandar Nikoloski In the past few days we witnessed the eruption of “Racket” affair. The government is trying to manage it without allowing those at the top of the pyramid led by “capo di tutti capi” to be held accountable, but the fact is that it is clear to the general public that this is …
Erol Rizaov Enigmatically tangled things that cannot be untangled – is the interpretation of the borrowed title of this column, expressed in the early 20th century in Germany and throughout Europe about the Macedonian conditions. Macedonians for the past hundred years have not done enough to make this assessment fade away and change for the …
Zvonko Davidovic My colleagues and I were sitting in the café next to the court staring into the hot air that shimmers and distorts the image of the surroundings, creating a false movement of the stationary asphalt and concrete. I check what I’ve posted this time last year and I realize that last year’s post …
Goran Adamovski Information from the Public Prosecutor’s Office that of the one million euros, which, according to the investigation, were paid to Bojan Jovanovski and Zoran Mileski by Orce Kamcev, less than 4,500 euros were spent on Katica Janeva’s furniture and might cost her her freedom, is shocking as well as much as the news …
Aleksandar Krzhalovski The question of good and evil, or the struggle between the two, is a never-ending one. From the stories in the Bible as the basis of all religions and the value systems based on them, through the most important historical events, especially the great/world wars, to the films of today, where the main …
Ilo Trajkovski I have been writing columns for Nezavisen Vesnik/Independent daily newspaper every two weeks for more than a year. On the occasion of this anniversary, these days I decided to review what was written. The topics of my columns are diverse – education, budget, politics, healthcare, judiciary, daily life, patriotism, migration, freedom of expression …
Slobodanka Jovanovska Kosovo’s outgoing government has yet again declared a trade war against Macedonia. This measure is so frequently used and abused by Pristina that running trade and economy in that country is starting to look more and more like a soap opera. Last year, Kosovo also promoted sanctions by banning the import of agricultural …
Nikola Popovski This year, which was announced to primarily be the year of economy, unfortunately, will probably be only remembered as the year of racketeering. Even if some average economic results are achieved, they will remain overshadowed by the apparent debacle of the country’s institutions. After nearly two thirds of this year have passed, economic …
Goran Adamovski The resourceful Greeks made T-shirts mocking the removal of the sixteen-rayed Kutlesh sun off of the manholes on the streets of Skopje. While the Greeks were trying to score on such a banal thing, a person from Bitola fired back and spray-painted the sun back on the manholes. During all that time, unknown …
Zdravko Saveski They have abused power for personal benefit. They thought they would hide it from the public, but they failed. They thought they would go away with empty promises and throw crumbs at citizens. They thought they would continue their old ways. But everything was in vain. This story of the fall of the …
Erol Rizaov “If there’s something to save, Don’t leave, don’t be silly, You go to the door, the key is in your hand, Indecisive walk, I cross my fingers for you and root for you, You put your bag on the floor, Oh darling, don’t be a fag” Riblja Chorba, 1982 I was free to …
Ljupco Popovski Macedonia obviously has a problem. Quite a big problem. Aside of its poverty, isolation, lack of perspective, ignorance – the dominant emotional state has become general nihilism. Absolute belittling, underestimating and condemning all that doesn’t come from oneself. This nihilism, from general reaction, turns into a great uproar and eventually ends in hysteria. …
Aleksandar Nikoloski The resolution in the case of racketeering Macedonian businessmen and the abuse of the Special Prosecutor’s Office in agreement with SDSM and Zoran Zaev is not even in the first phase. The public rightly expects a lot of answers and a quick investigation. The government and Zaev in order to save themselves are …

Ana Pavlovska-Daneva I usually spend my mornings reading the news, columns, analysis, checking my mail and social media. These last few days, as soon as I wake up I get scared to turn on my computer or phone, so I allow myself a few more minutes with my eyes closed, prolong the start of the …

President Stevo Pendarovski has shown how responsible politicians should behave, especially when in office. In just a few points, the head of state said what every free-thinking citizen thinks: the investigation into the “Racket” case is not fast and thorough, prosecutors went on vacation as if it were a regular case, the public’s disappointment with …
The two are like hyenas, they have business in common and of course mutual interest, one wants cash and the other wants the ability to buy his freedom with cash. The two main heroes in the turbo folk mafia series are Bojan Jovanovski known as Boki 13 and wealthy businessman Orce Kamchev. The Macedonian public …

Erol Rizaov Italian La Verità, Serbian Kurir and domestic old freedom fighters and new couriers are restoring democracy to Macedonia. They are the strongest artillery and logistics leaders of the uprising for the latest liberation of the captive state, which is liberated for the second time by those who captured it the first time round. …
The Spanish prime minister cut his holiday short due to slowed economic growth. The Belgian Prime Minister cut his holiday short his holiday due to an attack where two policemen were injured.
