	Misreading Macedonia's Elections - by Christopher Deliso
		Since all previous elections in the country's 15-year history have been marred by violence and fraud, it was no surprise that the "international community" was holding its breath.
		It thus indeed seemed that election day was in danger of going up in flames and, with it, Macedonia's hopes of ever joining NATO and the European Union; the West had warned bluntly that the country's fate in this regard depended on its ability to conduct "fair and free" elections.
		The major difference from the election of 2002 is that this year's was not framed against the backdrop of a war.

		The election was marked by a number of irregularities (voter intimidation, ballot stuffing etc…) notably in the regions populated by Albanians, which obliged 20 municipalities and 885 polling stations to organise a third round on 10th April 2005.
		The ambassador the European Union for Macedonia, Erwan Fouere, warned politicians that it was vital for the future of the country for the elections to be held in a fair and democratic manner.
		Macedonia's negotiations with the EU are not due to start before the beginning of 2008 even though Prime Minister Buckovski recently declared that he was "optimistic" and believed "that negotiations would start in 2007".

	Central Europe Review - Macedonia: Bound to Wait
		Admittedly, Macedonia has borne residual burdens from ex-Yugoslavia (notably in the fields of the economy and legislation), but what is remarkable is the extent to which it has refused to accept the conflict-ridden role it seemed destined to play.
		It is equally undesirable for Macedonia, where the potential consequences of destabilisation have entered into international relations legend; the prospect of the four neighbouring countries entering a military scenario in Macedonia, either to protect their minorities or with a view to enacting the territorial claims they lay, is frightening.
		Macedonia's fervent and continuing efforts to improve its standing with all such bodies would be simplified if they did not have a fl hole with sanctions on their border.

	Human Rights Watch World Report 2001: Macedonia:Human Rights Developments
		Although the international community continued to view Macedonia as a model of stability and democracy in the region, its human rights record remained patchy in 2000, with police brutality and the treatment of minorities continuing areas of concern.
		Events leading up to the election of Macedonia's second president at the end of 1999 typified the country's mixed record: after a generally well-conducted first round of elections on October 31, 1999, the November 14, 1999, run-off was flawed by serious irregularities in some districts.
		The overall standard of September's municipal elections in Macedonia was lower than that of the 1999 presidential elections, with the vote in both rounds marred by irregularities including violence and intimidation in some districts.
