THE PARTIES HAVE ANNOUNCED
THEIR LISTS
The parties’ lists for upcoming representatives were made last weekend.
Unlike from VMRO-DPMNE, which announcement of the lists passed quietly, at
SDSM was inclement, there were reactions for days. Neither one of the bigger
parties, nor the smaller didn’t offer any surprise, refreshment of the staff
on the lists. Buchkovski, Penov, Popovski, Shekerinska, Mitreva and
Makraduli are the top of SDSM- lists, peoples that were on main positions in
the government for the past four years. At the opposition block the
situation is almost identical. The leader of VMRO-DPMNE, Gruevski,
Slavevski, Gjorchev, Boneva, Georgievski and Miloshevski, are well known men
to the citizens. The situations with VMRO-NP of Georgievski and the New
social-democratic party of Tito Petkovski are the same. VMRO-NP announced
the first five candidates for representatives’ elections in the sixth
election posts for the upcoming parliament elections. Georgievski at the top
of the list put almost whole composition that was in the Government that he
led , but with whom he lost the 2002 elections. Petkovski is coming forward
with the people who didn’t make it to involve in the government for the past
four years of SDSM’s ruling, and DOM of Popovska announced the name Ljupco
Nikilovski Fufo, who is bearer in the second election post. The Democratic
union for integration and the Democratic league of the Bosnians have singed
an Agreement for coalition. They will attend together at the upcoming
parliament elections. The Democratic league of the Bosnians in the last
moment infiltrated in the rows of Ahmeti. The Party, incognito left the
negotiations with the coalition “For Macedonia together”. The most
outrageous battle of the upcoming parliament elections will be led in the
first, Skopje’s election post where upon the parties proposed their
favorites, the parties’ candidates’ lists are pointing out. There as bearers
of the lists, the leaders of the ruling coalition and the united oppositions
Vlado Buckovski and Nikola Gruevski will crash, but the duels will not be
weaker and in the other five elections posts – in the sixth, where the
leaders of DUI and of DPA Ali Ahmeti and Arben Djzaferi will meet with the
“double” the leader of LDP Risto Penov and the vice president of VMRO-DPMNE
Trajko Slavevski, in the third the battle will be between Radmila
Shekerinska from SDSM and Silvana Boneva from VMRO-DPMNE. |

MANIPULATING WITH
BOSHKOVSKI AND TARCHULOVSKI
During the visit of Hague, the minister for foreign affairs, Ilinka Mitreva
planed to visit the former minister of interior affairs, Ljube Boshkovski
and Johan Tarchulovski in the Scheveningen’s jail, but, still before her
leaving, Tarchulosvki refused meeting with her. According to sources of MFA,
Mitreva was supposed to message Boshkovski that the Government is ready to
finance his defense in front of the Hague’s tribunal , according to
VMRO-DPMNE, the Mitreva’s visit is one more proof that the country
rhetorically and verbally is helping to Boshkovski and to Tarchulovski. |

AGREEMENT
FOR READMISSION WITH BENELUX
Macedonia has signed an agreement for readmission with the countries from
Benelux (Belgium, Holland and Luxemburg) in Hague. That is the eleventh
agreement for returning of the illegal emigrants that Macedonia has with the
EU member countries, and it’s one of the key conditions for possible easing
of the visa regime. The minister of foreign affairs Bernard Bot estimated
that the signing of the agreement is a proof for the excellent relations
between Macedonia and Holland, as well as a proof for support of the
Macedonian aspirations for membership in the EU. |

REGIONALIZATION, BUT NOT CANTONIZATION
Domestic experts for international law, euro integrations, local
self-government and politicians have an opinion that in Macedonia in the
next years, regional municipal unions will be formed which will substitute
the concept for eventual future cantonal or federal regulation. According to
them the regionalization has very good sides, that the regions will not have
political power, but still some of them evaluates that in the future that
can be changed. In the borders of this country soon eight bigger regions –
southwestern, Pelagonian, Vardarian, northeastern, Skopje, southeastern,
eastern and Polog. |
