Mitevska In January 2012, a referendum on EU accession took place in Croatia, which at one time walked alongside Macedonia on the Euro-Atlantic path – about half a year after the country completed negotiations with the European Union. 43.5 percent of registered voters came out and voted in the referendum, of which just […]
The success of the referendum, according to Prime Minister Zoran Zaev, will be a strong and clear signal for all political factors in the country.

Aleksandra M. Mitevska One and a half month after the announcement of the referendum – a period in which thousands of appeals were sent to the leadership of VMRO-DPMNE to announce its position on the referendum, the opposition finally announced that its position was that there was no position.

Aleksandra M. Mitevska Opposition’s leader Hristijan Mickoski’s stagnating, reconsidering and calculating about the (non) participation in the upcoming referendum is somewhat understandable.
