The summer months, especially August, are mainly the time for vacations, and that goes for the politicians as well (both here and in Europe), so it is not bad to take a break from daily political events and deal with other topics. Not that there aren’t any developments, such as the current issues with the …
It is shameful to hear and see the “wails” of Kosovo officials on a daily basis, and unfortunately, the ones by the Macedonian government politicians in the “Tomor Morina” case. One, seemingly, procedural act of apprehending a man wanted on an international arrest warrant is turning into a political drama that could undermine the stability …
The case of little Tamara, who had a severe form of scoliosis and, unfortunately, so distorted and bent over by pain, did not get the institutional “go” for a new life opportunity, these days fired a new bullet into the womb of the unjust society in which we are lingering in daily. Ljupco Stojanovski, whose …

While the TV emits the Ilinden 2019 celebration , I get a holiday greeting in a message, followed by a link. I open the link on my phone, and hear: “Somewhere you will not be spoken of, somewhere you will be hidden, a grave will cover another. Only you are immortal, a vivid underground water, …

Due to a number of factors, we are living in an age when statistics of all kinds, often prosaic, are better and growing in number even when they are easily accessible to everyone and comparable on international level. This greatly improves the awareness of all people and various entities and organizations in the world, and …
It is simply impossible to closely follow the news and information regarding Katica Janeva on daily basis. She was on holiday in Greece, at the hairdresser’s, she formatted her phone, she lost it, she was about to be arrested, she had her sick leave signed by a friend… mostly hearsay. The chief of the Special …
Ilo Trajkovski It’s summertime, so let’s discuss a lighter topic. I wouldn’t want to spoil the mood of readers who, with their mobile phones in hand, can easily browse through multiple websites at once. And summertime, along with the annual holiday experiences, it’s the time for gossip. Gossip is said to be one of the …
Aleksandar Nikoloski Vice president of VMRO-DPMNE Two weeks ago, I wrote on these same pages that at the top of the iceberg called corruption and racketeering in Macedonia was the “capo di tutti capi” – Zoran Zaev himself. It was at the height of the racketeering affair of many businessmen in Macedonia. Two weeks later …

Zvonko Davidovic On one of my trips, an Egyptian asked me where I was from. I proudly said that I was from Macedonia, and he immediately asked how many of us there were, to which I replied that there were two million of us, and he semi-seriously said through a smile – that as many …
Gjorgji Spasov Probably very few people remember that Branko Crvenkovski congratulated Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski in 2007 in his annual address to the Parliament as President of the country for “restoring hope” among the citizens. It was an attempt by the B.C. person, as VMRO-DPMNE liked to call him, for some kind of reconciliation and …
Margot Wallström One of the great achievements of the 20th century was the spread of democracy and economic development on a global scale. Democracy has proven to be the best form of governance. It delivers economic and social gains as well as peace and stability. It enables voices to be heard, encourages participation and allows …
Ana Pavlovska-Daneva Years ago, my friend and I tried to explain the reasons for the mass emigration from the country. The reason for such a conversation was the increasingly frequent departure not only of the young, but also of people of our generation, middle-aged people, people with grown children and with solid incomes. I understood …
Zdravko Saveski The public was in great shock over the “Racket” case, and probably over Prosecutor Katica Janeva’s involvement in it. It was clear for quite some time now that the SPO has neither the will nor capacity to do its job, and that it is collaborating with the government. But that did not cause …
Aleksandar Krzhalovski I do not know about you, but when the events in our everyday life become unbearable, whether they are stupid, criminal or simply miserable, and they all lead to new and new disappointments, I need to turn to something different, preferably inspiring, and of course, on the more beautiful side of life. Not …
Erol Rizaov If politicians agree to defend citizens and state interests by enabling the judiciary and the competent institutions to work smoothly in the fight against crime, as criminals do successfully when they agree to rob both the state and the citizens, then Macedonia will thrive. However, if powerful politicians and givers of justice are …
Aleksandar Nikoloski Dear readers, look what has happened in these past two weeks since my last column. If sometimes there are not enough topics to write about, this time there is an abundance and one does not know what to write about first, so I decided to write about all of them together – because …

Mimoza Nestorova-Tomic Waste significantly pollutes nature and our immediate living environment and therefore is our greatest everyday problem – state, city and individual. This type of problems can push us into a major ecological crisis, and it has already been detected in Skopje and Tetovo, while in Struga and other places – it is alarming …
Goran Adamovski Transfer Anita Angelovska-Bezhoska, Governor of the National Bank of the Republic of North Macedonia, to the Government and appoint her as Finance Minister, and appoint Fatmir Besimi as NB Governor instead. This, according to the media in Albanian, is the latest condition that Ali Ahmeti’s Democrats have imposed on Prime Minister Zoran Zaev …
Nikola Popovski Our country, which represents only 0.4 percent of the EU population and only 0.065 percent (0.65 percent) of the scope of its economy, has a population standard measured by the GDP per capita indicator at a level of 16 percent of the average of the EU (4,800 versus 30,000 euros per capita in …
Petar Arsovski After New Democracy’s victory in the parliamentary elections in Greece, the main news in Macedonia has been the new Greek government, and the suspicion that political changes in our southern neighbor can mean a sharp turn to the right in relation to the Prespa Agreement, which would consequently mean jeopardizing our Euro-Atlantic, or …
