		Macedonia's September 15 parliamentary elections were the first since the country narrowly avoided an all-out civil war with the brokering of the Ohrid Framework Agreement by the United States and the European Union (EU) in August 2001.
		The country's four major political party leaders--representing the ethnic Macedonian VMRO-DPMNE and the Social Democratic Union of Macedonia (SDSM), and the ethnic Albanian DPA and the Party for Democratic Prosperity (PDP)--met for a final round of negotiations near Ohrid Lake in early August and reached an agreement on August 13, 2001.
		The Party for Democratic Prosperity (PDP) was in power from 1991 until 1998, and most ethnic Albanians believe that the party did little to improve their lives; allegations of corruption and profits derived from smuggling tobacco, cigarettes, and alcohol are widespread.

		FYR Macedonia’s new Free Access to Information Law, a model law in many ways, shows great potential for strengthening the supply of information for citizens, the media, and NGOs, although implementation has been uneven and it will take time for the value of such a law to be fully utilized by civil society.
		FYR Macedonia spends about 9 percent of GDP on health, which is higher than the average for EU10 countries and at the same level as OECD countries.
		FYR Macedonia’s small social assistance system includes a myriad of cash benefits and social services, and is burdened with legislative constraints and vacuums, a mismatch between legislation and implementation capacity, inadequate management procedures and practices and weak communication and network systems between the implementing institutions.

	Report on political situation Western Balkans - European Forum
		The three dominant nationalist parties took power in a coalition with several smaller parties after months of long talks and the rejection by the Office of the High Representative of a number of candidates for ministerial positions.
		President Boris Tadic’s Democratic Party was second with 25.7 %, followed by the Power of Serbia -- a movement led by the businessman Bogoljub Karic -- with 15.9 %.
		As the elections were widely considered as a test to the political stability of the democratic institutions in the country, it was unfortunate that they did not go on smoothly: there were two rounds, which on their own had many run-offs because of irregularities.

	Current Analysis and Reports (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The "democratic" principle is closer to the general understanding of self-determination, as it provides for a choice, expressed in a referendum, of the population of a territory.
		The Kosova Liberation Army of the Albanians since the start of the armed clashes with the Serbian armed forces enjoyed the status of belligerent party, which fought for just cause and thus could be regarded as an ally of the democratic West.
		Democratization as a grand strategy is sound enough, at least in the long run, but in the short and medium term policy actions should be congruent with the objective of avoiding the above mentioned security threats.

		Macedonia might be approaching a similar level of economic development as Kosovo due to the paralysis of its economy.
		Macedonia and Kosovo are not only the epicentre of the military crisis in Europe, but have at the same time found themselves in the middle of great financial and economic crisis.
		That was also confirmed by the fact that Albanian parties garnered an aggregate of 19.3 percent of the vote in Macedonia's 1998 parliamentary elections, which seems a reasonable reflection of the Albanian portion of the country's adult population.

	TAKIS FOTOPOULOS - The Catastrophe of Marketisation
		the concentration of political and economic power at the hands of the communist party bureaucracy, in combination with the non-abandonment of the wage system, meant that the effect of socialist statism in Eastern Europe was just a change in the personnel of the ruling elite, rather than the elimination of the elite itself.
		However, if, to the liberals, disguised unemployment was a symptom of economic inefficiency, to the socialists it was just an inevitable consequence of social policy.
		This strategy was confirmed by the 15th Congress of the Communist Party in 1997 that decided to go further down the road to marketization, which began in 1978 with the scrapping of collective farms.

	Macedonia: Imperialism worried by current political instability
		Until 1995, Greece imposed a trade embargo against ‘FYR Macedonia’ because they objected to the use of the name ‘Macedonia’, as this is also the name of the northern region of Greece.
		A workers’ party could play a key role in aiding workers’ struggles outside of parliament, fighting against neo-liberalism’s onslaught, and crucially act as a collective organiser and educator.
		Only on the basis of democratic socialism would it be possible to guarantee a decent standard of living and national rights for all the peoples of the Balkans.

	Macedonia Profile at World Flags and Profiles: Macedonia
		International recognition of Macedonia's independence from Yugoslavia in 1991 was delayed by Greece's objection to the new state's use of what it considered a Hellenic name and symbols.
		The undetermined status of neighboring Kosovo, implementation of the Framework Agreement - which ended the 2001 ethnic Albanian armed insurgency - and a weak economy continue to be challenges for Macedonia.
		At independence in September 1991, Macedonia was the least developed of the Yugoslav republics, producing a mere 5% of the total federal output of goods and services.

		Application for EU membership is not on the current centre-right government's agenda, and none of the political parties have explicitly expressed that Iceland should join the union although the Alliance remains in favor of negotiations.
		The Left-Green Movement has been firmly opposed to membership and the same goes for the conservative Independence Party, a member of the ruling coalition, although its former chairman Davíð Oddsson indicated in a speech in January 2005 that a policy change was not ruled out depending on how the EU will evolve in coming years.
		Former Prime Minister Halldór Ásgrímsson of the Progressive Party has predicted that Iceland will join the EU by 2015, and said that the decisive factor for Iceland would be the future and the size of the Eurozone.
