	ISN Security Watch - Macedonia violence unlikely despite protests
		Since the incumbent coalition was ousted in Macedoniaâs 5 July parliamentary elections, the major security concern has been the potential for future violence from the ethnic Albanian Democratic Union for Integration (DUI), excluded from the new government.
		However, Macedonia is not an ethnic federation, and as in similar European democracies, the party that wins the most seats in parliament has the unconditional mandate to form the government.
		Their presence and lobbying clout could in the end mean the difference between a âwild westâ Macedonia where a DUI state-within-a-state thrives, and a country where the harmonization of economic and political interests would allow the government to maintain law and order on a national level.
