Zdravko Saveski The date. The date. THE DATE! We are waiting to receive that bright, maybe even holy date that is supposed to turn our doors wide open to the prosperity of the West, which we reportedly deserve. Will we finally get lucky? Because we did our part. Every EU diplomat kindly says this to […]
Zdravko Saveski There are a number of reasons why there is little public interest in Macedonia regularly when it comes to budgeting or rebalancing. First, most often there is some political event distracting the public. In this case, the mega-scandal dubbed “Racket” and the government’s attempts to “manage” its “non-involvement” in it. Second, the lack […]
Zdravko Saveski The situation with the climate crisis is extremely serious, far more serious than the treatment it gets from the media in Macedonia. So serious that after the announcements that July was the warmest month in the history of mankind, the United Nations Secretary General has scheduled a summit of world leaders for September […]
Zdravko Saveski They have abused power for personal benefit. They thought they would hide it from the public, but they failed. They thought they would go away with empty promises and throw crumbs at citizens. They thought they would continue their old ways. But everything was in vain. This story of the fall of the […]
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 […]
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 […]
Zdravko Saveski As expected – we didn’t get a date for starting accession talks with the EU. Zaev, especially before the referendum, reassured us that we will start the accession negotiations with the EU in June this year. Those familiar with the situation knew that it was highly unlikely that this would happen even before […]
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 […]
Zdravko Saveski As if it wasn’t damaged enough, the so-called Colorful Revolution is finally finished off, crushed, destroyed! A month ago, we first witnessed the charades when participants in the 2016 protests, and explicit supporters of SDSM, through the initiative called “Na megdan (Duel)”, were reactivated to give wind in Stevo Pendarovski’s back after his […]
Zdravko Saveski At the time of writing this column, the results of the first round of the presidential elections were still unknown. But this is not the main reason why I will not waste time on elections on this occasion. The main reason is that May Day is approaching and that presidential elections must not […]
Zdravko Saveski The people have power! That power is not visible and can not be felt when the people themselves do not reach for it. When this is the case, the rulers lie to the people, steal from the people and lead them by the nose. And the people sink in their poverty and in […]
Zdravko Saveski Political scientist and member of Levica We need fundamental changes in Macedonia. If these radical changes are not made, we are yet to see how our lives are deteriorating and how things become established practices, things we thought that would never happen to us. Even so, at this given moment there is no […]
