Slobodanka Jovanovska “Misery” was the reaction of a European diplomat to the conclusion of the EU member states with which, instead of giving us a date, as they promised, they announced they will “revisit” the topic. Everyone was praising us, no one was against Macedonia, but obviously they were not “in favor” because behind the […]
Aleksandar Nikoloski Vice President of VMRO-DPMNE Dear readers of these lines, yesterday in Luxembourg was confirmed something we all already knew, actually something that was clear to some a lot earlier than it was to others – that Macedonia led by Zaev, Dimitrov, Osmani, Shekerinska and the rest of them will not get a date […]
Zvonko Davidovic Angela had ninety different suits, for each and every occasion. Zaev rode a motorcycle to Prespa to feast on gjomoleze. Don’t speak English anymore, I beg you, said Ganka to Zaev. The housewife is happy and satisfied while making her favorite food. These are just some of the headlines I read on news […]
Goran Adamovski If the interior minister was not attending a a public event on Thursday, we probably would never have known that one victims in the traffic accident near Drachevo was quite familiar to the police. Although he was less than 21 years old, the boy from Batinci had been stopped by the police up […]
Nikola Popovski The signing of the state treaty between Macedonia and Bulgaria was a risky move for both parties. On one hand, the treaty can contribute to improving the relations between the two countries, which only the completely naive or uninformed consider them to be or have been good, and on the other hand, it […]
Petar Arsovski Political analyst These days, the discussion over proposed changes to the electoral models, which were supported by many political actors, is the main topic. Although there has long been talk of these changes, there has been no political will to implement them, nor have we witnessed a serious discussion and analysis of the […]
Aleksandar Cvetkoski It is true that the government can collapse due to a possible postponing of the date, but it’s not like we did everything to get on time, and in this regard, one thing that comes to mind is the saying: “Too many cooks”. If we take SDSM under consideration, another saying comes to […]
Ilo Trajkovski The recently held elections for the European Parliament brought a few surprises. First, the voters went to the polls in a significantly larger number than expected. In addition to the numerous previously stated conclusions on the democratic deficit of the European institutions and the decline in their interest in politics, this time European […]
Nano Ruzhin Paris remains a symbol of romanticism and love. When one says the name Paris, we immediately think of of Edith Piaf and her “anthem of love,” we think of Brassens and his beloved in the Luxembourg park, the chansons of Montagne, of Joe Dassin and the Indian Summer, of Gainsbourg and Birkin and […]
Erol Rizaov Now that NATO membership and the start of negotiations with the EU have become a reality for the future of the country, we should constantly remind ourselves, so that we never forget that in the recent history the greatest Macedonian lies have evolved into truths. This is necessary for our further tough battles […]
Zdravko Saveski A few days ago it was announced that all future cash payments will be limited to 500 euros. That amount is higher than the monthly income of the larger part of the population. And that part of the population rarely buys goods and services over 500 euros. The simply have no such purchasing […]
Frosina Fakova – Serafinovic Businessman Orce Kamchev, a suspect in one of the SPO’s cases, won the gold medal in Cologne, and the institutions won a gold medal for public delusion. And if it was not for the victory of HC Vardar in the European Champions League, we would not have known that Orce and […]
Nikola Dujovski Security sector reform, triggered by unlawful interception of communications and political consequences, triggering extraordinary parliamentary elections, should reflect the social reality and provide space for the development of all other state sectors. How much these services impact society is seen in the fact that the remnants of the regime, for a long time, […]
A few days ago, the first European People’s Party (EPP) Political Assembly was held in Brussels after the elections for the European Parliament. It was extremely interesting to hear first hand how the leaders of the largest European party, as well as representatives of the largest European parties in their countries, explain and see the […]
Sasko G. Dimovski Vardar recorded the second season of the handball series of fairy tales titled “Masters of the Champions League”. The returning of elite trophy in Skopje raised the citizens to their feet and kept them up long into the night. Songs, chants (at times tasteless and with political connotation and hate speech, but […]
Nikola Popovski The old unwritten rule is known that when you are taking a bank loan or, in more modern times, when you are subscribing for mobile phone services, you should be beware of the articles and footnotes of the agreement that are written in fine print. They can determine the essence and perspectives for […]
Petar Arsovski VMRO-DPMNE in a statement, alluding to the fact that they would not mind much if Gruevski’s mandate is revoked, quite pompously announced their conclusion that the law was equal for all. The mantra sounds a bit ironic while Gruevski remains the honorary president of the party, especially given the fact that the fervor […]
The aelegiac initial verse “What a difference a day made” from the eponymous legendary song by Dinah Washington had an incredible political paraphrase on Sunday and Monday in Romania. By Sunday morning, Liviu Dragnea, the undisputed master of Romania, had everything under his control. As president of the ruling Social Democratic Party (PSD), he controlled […]
The size and radicalness of the dismissals and rotations of government and party officials of the Social Democrats will not matter much if Prime Minister Zoran Zaev runs out of time on the clock in this simultaneous chess game he is playing in zeitnot. Although he is in a winning position, he might lose both […]
ILO TRAJKOVSKI Over the past two weeks, after the second round of the presidential elections, there have been several events that call for providence. For example, Pendarovski’s inauguration in the absence of his main promoter; welcoming and sending off the pope; the success of Tamara Todevska at Eurovision; and recently the “Bogoevski” affair is boiling […]
