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.

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.

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 …
Nano Ruzhin In diplomacy, there is a sacred rule that reads: “Diplomacy is the art of telling people the worst things, but in the most elegant way possible”. But how can one interpret the defeat of Alexis Tsipras in the most elegant manner, without misusing diplomacy? In the region, many diplomats, analysts and citizens are …
Zdravko Saveski Last Friday, three protesters were arrested on the sidelines of a public demonstration of firearms held in Skopje, as part of the promotion of the country’s accession to NATO. They were taken to a police station and released quickly after. “Marginal event” would be your first thought. And a marginal event that is …

Ljupco Popovski A certain kind of a political experiment in Greece has lasted for four and a half years when voters enraged due to corruption, false economic indicators, unexpectedly facing poverty and unemployment turned to left-oriented Syriza and the party’s charismatic leader Alexis Tsipras, believing that they could create a miracle in the economically tormented …
Ilo Trajkovski Amoebae are considered the simplest single-celled living organisms. On the other hand, it is said that there are everywhere. Despite all the changes that have taken place on planet Earth they have survived hundreds of millions of years. Persistently filling all the waters, all the organisms! The secret of their durability and omnipresence …
Erol Rizaov Hristijan Mickoski, the leader of VMRO DPMNE, is nowhere to be found, and then suddenly he reappears with a sensational statement like in Lila Filipovska’s TV show. He said that the offer he gave to Prime Minister Zoran Zaev is no longer valid. Zaev opened and spent all the boxes with the main …
Aleksandar Krzhalovski “White smoke” emerged from Brussels on Tuesday afternoon with the announcement by the current President of the European Council (leaders of all 28 EU member states) that an agreement has been reached on leading positions in EU institutions after the European Parliament elections in May. Without describing the process, for which there were …
Aleksandar Nikoloski We all saw how the local elections in Albania went. There is no other country in Europe where only one party participates, and the ballot contains the name of only one candidate. That is not democracy, it is dictatorship and communism. What humiliation of democracy this is, when no one else wants to …
Aleksandra M. Mitevska Although more than four years have passed since the launch of the first so-called “bombs” on Bihac Street, part of the then famous (or obnoxious) lines are still discussed in public to this day – among other things, as an example of how the holders of the highest state functions should not …
Nikola Popovski The Government reshuffle that was long announced, which turned into a key, and perhaps even the only argument for Stevo Pendarovski’s victory in the second round of presidential elections, was intended to answer many of the issues for which the current government did not even come close to delivering adequate responses, turned into …
Zvonko Davidovic Every Monday I have a cleaning lady coming over to clean my house. I’ve known her for years and I have unlimited trust in her, in fact, how would I leave my entire house with everything in it, if I didn’t have so trust in her. When I return from work, the house …
Erol Rizaov The decreasing self-esteem of the Government and the more aggressive heirs of Gruevism in the opposition’s leadership create a climate of uncertainty and concern, rather than a reformed environment that is necessary before the start of negotiations with the EU. The great cabinet changes are Prime Minister Zoran Zaev’s clear recognition that things …
