DEPUTY PM
KONEVSKA-TRAJKOVSKA PARTICIPATES AT COE SECOND SUMMER UNIVERSITY FOR
DEMOCRACY
Gabriela Konevska-Trajkovski, Deputy PM in charge of European Affairs
Thursday is paying a one-day visit to Strasbourg to participate at the
Council of Europe Second Summer University for Democracy.
She will address the round table, devoted to "50 years after the Treaties of
Rome: Where is the European Project?".
Konevska - Trajkovska will hold several bilateral meetings as well as with
Deputy Secretary General of the Council of Europe Maud de Boer Buquicchio.
The event, which gathers about 600 representatives of the Council of Europe
(CoE) member countries, was opened by CoE Secretary General Terry Davis.
Parliamentary Assembly Vice President Göran Lindblad and Philippe Richert,
Vice-Chairman of the French Senate and several other commissioners of the
Council of Europe are to participate.
BALKAN NEWS AGENCIES TO
EHNANCE COOPERATION
Balkan news agencies, among which the Macedonian Information Agency (MIA),
will strengthen their mutual cooperation through creation of a special
network for information exchange titled WEB-DEP.
Establishment of such communication zone will be carried out through the
realization of project Western Balkans Democratic Participation (WEB-DEP),
supported by funds of the European Commission Programme for Information
Society Technologies.
The project foresses inclusion of government institutions, national news
agencies and all citizens of Western Balkan countries in E-democratic
processes, through a single system developed on the basis of determined
procedures and a joint ethical code.
The project, which envisages creation of a single communication area for
exchange of views and experiences on activities of government institutions
and public opinion creation, was launched on January 1 and will last in the
next two year.
Besides MIA, the project also includes seven partners from Albania, Great
Britain, Greece and Serbia, among which agencies ATA, ANA and TANJUG.
The project's idea is establishment of a Platform for Electronic
Participation (E-participation) in presentation of positions and debates on
issues related to the Western Balkan region, while population in general
would be the end user, but also certain state institutions, such as
parliaments, governments and ministries, business community and other
interested groups.
They will all be addressed through series of joint forums, such as
significant European conferences related to E-Government, E-Democracy and
issues of E-participation, but also through separate specialized editions of
news agencies.

TOP OFFICIALS TO MEET ON ISSUE OF
ARM PROPERTY TRANSFORMATION
President Branko Crvenkovski, Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski, Defense
Minister Lazar Elenovski and Chief of Macedonian Army (ARM) Staff Miroslav
Stojanovski will meet Thursday on the issue of ARM property transformation.
The meeting follows after Tuesday's correspondence between the President and
the Government over the competencies regarding transformation or selling of
ARM property.
In a letter addressed to PM Gruevski, Crvenkovski said he was surprised that
the Government decided to transfer part of the ARM real estate without
respecting the competences, procedures and the Law on Defense, according to
which the President is in charge of the ARM organization and structure.
President Branko Crvenkovski has been informed by the Defense Minister Lazar
Elenovski about all ideas of the Government for transformation of the ARM
real estate, Government's spokesman Ivica Bocevski said Tuesday in regard to
the President's letter to Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski. |
