Nikola Popovski The Macedonian political crisis is not acute, nor it is a process, it is probably a state and a condition that threatens to be “a new normality”. No matter how optimistic you are, and looking on possible perspectives through pink glasses, it all seems to be in vain. When a political crisis is …
Erol Rizaov If the day can be recognized by the break of dawn, even during an Indian summer, Macedonia is facing the greatest defeat in its modern history. Astounding for common sense, mutual primitive struggle between the MPs of the nationalist anachronistic political party VMRO-DPMNE and the coalition of European-oriented MPs and parties, representing the majority …

Ilo Trajkovski Many events during this past year, and especially after April 27, 2017, raise the question of the relationship between partisanship and civilization. But let’s be completely honest with ourselves. This question is not exclusively ours. I did not find the immediate reason for this consideration of this question in an event in our …
Сè уште се преговара со сопственикот на земјиштето кај Мајчин дом. Градоначалникот Златко Марин вчера информираше дека се надева на позитивно решение, што ќе значи дека на парцелата нема да се гради деветкатница. Според него, мораториум за градење не е решение за вакви случаи, туку е само одолговлекување. Минатата недела општински инспектори ја стопираа изградбата …

Slobodanka Jovanovska Editor in Chief of Nezavisen Vesnik Who gave mandate to Prime Minister Zoran Zaev to offer amnesty? Although, after his speech in the Parliament, SDSM officials tried to persuade the public that he spoke only for reconciliation, forgiveness, understanding… he himself did not deny it, although he had the opportunity, and he did …
Zdravko Saveski Political scientist and a member of Levica It is difficult to admit defeat. In everyday life, as well as in politics – it is difficult to admit defeat. Admitting defeat is a virtuous move, characteristic of people with integrity. Only they can admit that they have been defeated. Others always find excuses for …
Erol Rizaov Saving Nikola Gruevski and his closest associates from prison costs as much as the future of Macedonia. This needs to be shown by the parliamentary debate that starts today for constitutional changes for all who still have dilemmas why the Prespa Agreement is a document of historic significance that determines the survival, security …
Robert Nesimi Political analyst Besides its implications for the name agreement and EU and NATO integration, the referendum vote can be read from a purely political angle. It offers a snapshot of the political weight of each political factor in the country, one year after the local elections. Below are a few conclusions. 1 – …
Erol Rizaov Those who declared the agreement with Greece as dead and those who signed it, those who support it and those who oppose it, will have to take responsibility for the consequences if they bury the the very much alive and twice ratified agreement by a majority of MPs in the Assembly of Macedonia. …

Протестот е најавен за во 17 часот. „Овие настани претставуваат спонтани граѓански собири, испровоцирани од поставувањето на градежната механизација и претварањето на тревникот во градилиште. Собирот е чист граѓански активизам, надпартиски, нема водач, нема единствен организатор – туку е поддржан …

Ilo Trajkovski The referendum has passed! Long live the referendum! In the case of our referendum, it’s as if the principle to which all conflicting societies or groups persist is somehow denied. According to this principle, the profit and joy of one is the loss and grief of the other. Although we are undoubtedly such …
Zvonko Davidovic Endless prairie, the wind blowing on the dry grass, and on the hill an Indian standing as a marble statue with eyes pointed to the sky and praying silently to his god. He is waiting for rain. Perhaps days have passed in such a lethargic wait, but the Indian welcomed the rain, his …
Erol Rizaov I have been hearing the phrase “what did I tell you” for a whole week after the referendum, as an introduction to all the conversations on the most important topic in the country. A whole army of generals emerged after the battle, experts of all kinds who allegedly warned in time, but no …
Gjorgji Spasov As in the Nazi propaganda film “The Triumph of the Will,” ordered by Hitler to mark the party congress in Nuremberg in 1934, these days, after the press conference, in the media images and events of joy of those, who by calling the boycott managed to prevent “the serious crime of power” and …
Erol Rizaov In the Museum of the City of Skopje, along with many beautiful people, urban characters, and famous public figures, last Tuesday we were direct witnesses of the revenge of two deceased giants, Slavko Janevski and Tome Serafimovski, for the injustice that was inflicted on them by one regime’s tyranny.

Erol Rizaov The Nobel Peace Prize will not help Alexis Tsipras and Zoran Zaev, even if they manage to demonstrate and prove that the most difficult and unsolvable disputes between two countries can be solved peacefully with respect and compromise. For a long period of time, it will just be an addition to the biography …
Spiros Sideris A first reading of the results of the referendum in Macedonia shows that Zoan Zaev did not eventually convince his audience and lead citizens to the polls to vote in favour of the Euro-Atlantic course of the country. The nearly 37% of the voters who went to cast their votes at the referendum, in …
The post-referendum feeling is foggy. Despite the clearly expressed will of the citizens, expressed by 600,000 votes “for”, happened what was largely assumed – the minority who opposed, abstained and boycotted the plebiscitary vote led the process into a tie and took the entire country hostage. Nowadays, apparently, what mobilizes is the positive vision of …
