Orchestra. Uveravam vas da su u nju uloæeni meseci iscr- pljujuñeg rada. Prevoðenje nemuãtog govora igre u pisanu reå, a zatim uobliåavanje istog u formu struånog åasopisa podrazumeva izuzetan napor naãih saradnika i same redakci- je. Ali, posle svega, kad god uzmemo u ruke novi broj - dogodi nam se praznik. Raduje ãto je u ovom izdanju blok posveñen domañoj igraåkoj produkciji veoma obiman. åasopisa Uprkos svim nedañama koje (i dalje) uporno i destruktivno pritiskaju sve vidove umet- Orchestra niåke igre u naãoj zemlji, ona nekim åudom preæivljava. Za to su svakako najzasluæniji umetnici koji su joj se posvetili. Naãa dræava definitivno uopãte ne zna ãta bi s njom. Ne zna, ali ni ne pita za savet druge koji bi itekako imali ãta da joj kaæu i tako joj pomognu. Pa da vidimo dokle ñemo tako stiñi... Narodno pozoriãte iz Beograda vratilo je na scenu balet Dimitrija Parliña Romeo i Julija, ãto je za svaku pohvalu. Apsolutno se slaæem sa svima koji ñe se pitati (i ljutiti) zaãto na Konkurs otvoren: neograniåeno naslovnoj strani ove Orchestre nije fotografija iz tog legendarnog baleta. Na æalost ni posle Propozicije: a) tematika: balet, savremena igra, performans, alternativna scena, instalacija, mnogo truda i dobre volje uloæenih u pravu potragu od strane direkcije Narodnog pozoriãta, direkcije Baleta i osnivaåa åasopisa, nije pronaðena fotografija koja bi u igraåki teatar... tehniåkom smislu zadovoljila visoke standarde naãe naslovne strane. Ãteta! Zato molim b) format: 20 x 30 cm, slajdovi: lajka, 6 x 6, 9 x9... sve upravnike svih pozoriãta koji se na bilo koji naåin bave igrom da u svoju poslovnu praksu uvedu tzv. photo session - termin u kome ñe svim fotografima biti dozvoljeno da c) tehnika: crno/belo i kolor pod adekvatnim svetlom i scenskim uslovima realizuju foto materijal koji ñe u svakom detalju zadovoljavati svetske kriterijume profesionalne umetniåke fotografije. Uopãte nisam protiv fotografija nastalih u toku predstave. Naprotiv. Na njima je åesto otisnut neki nezaboravni i neponovljiv umetniåki trenutak. Mnoge takve objavljujemo i u ovom izdanju, ali postoje tehniåki momenti u procesu naãeg rada kada su one nedovoljne, åak i loãe. Uvoðenjem nove poslovne ãeme profitirali bi svi - umetnici, pozoriãta, dnevne novine, razne publikacije, pa i mi. A umetniåka igra, u vizuelnom smislu, bila bi dosto- janstveno predstavljena.

The modern infrastructure and the communications of movement allowed terrorist organizations to be able to attack everywhere in the world. The issue that is a point of interest of this paper is the current situation of returning the foreign terrorist fighters to their home country or third countries and the security consequences that may arise if they are not treated properly. For a more detailed perception of this problem through the case analysis – an operative police action related to the foreign terrorist fighters, the functional aspects of the criminal prosecution bodies of the Republic of North Macedonia will be better perceived and studied. Also, a special emphasis will be placed on the strategy for the fight against violent extremism and the financing of terrorist fighters.

  • Media Sustainability Index. Macedonia 2015
    There was one short-lived attempt to start a new daily, Politiko, with an editorial tone strongly critical of the government, but it failed after only seven issues, reportedly due to abysmal sales and lack of public interest. MACEDONIA 70 EUROPE & EURASIA MEDIA SUSTAINABILITY INDEX 2015 introduction OVERALL SCORE: 1.72 MACEDONIA Early parliamentary elections were held in April, resulting in another win for the incumbent coalition of VMRO-DPMNE and DUI political parties. The opposition accused the ruling parties of serious abuses of the Eelectoral process and decided to boycott the parliament—a boycott still in effect at the time this MSI study was written. Incumbent President Gjorge Ivanov won the presidential elections held in April as well. Macedonia again retained its status of candidate for EU membership, but endured the most critical European Commission Progress Report to date. The report highlighted many serious issues that the country must address to start membership negotiations, including problems related to the freedom of expression and media freedoms—especially the government’s efforts to establish control over the leading national broadcasters, and the independence of the judiciary. The longstanding dispute with EU-member Greece over Macedonia’s name remains unresolved. The economy, after a prolonged period of crisis, is now growing at a rate of 3.5 percent per year and Macedonia reported the second highest GDP growth in Europe after Ireland. However, in view of the low starting levels, experts say that the current and projected growth rate is not enough to improve significantly standards of living, and the unemployment rate stands at 27.9 percent.

Macedonia Introduction or Macedonia, 2003 was an important year of stability and politi- cal consolidation. The September 2002 national elections brought to power a coalition government dominated by the Social Democratic Union for Macedonia (SDSM), led by Branko Crvenkovski, and the Democratic Union for Integration (DUI), the Albanian party formed by the leadership of the former Albanian National Liberation Army (NLA) and led by Ali Ahmeti. Despite a number of minor incidents, the coalition has held and the Framework Agreement that ended the conflict of 2001 is being slowly implemented. F However, for Macedonia’s media community, 2003 was anything but stable. Significant changes have taken place that altered the media landscape, most notably in the print media. In July, the German media conglomerate Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung (WAZ) bought a controlling stake in the three main daily Macedonian-language newspa- pers: Dnevnik, Utrinski Vesnik, and Vest. The combined daily circulation of the three papers is about 130,000 copies, comprising about 80 percent of the market. However, it is important to note that circulation figures are unreliable, as there are substantial differences between reported print-run totals and actual, sold copies.

    ST ANTONY’S COLLEGE OXFORD South East European Studies at Oxford (SEESOX) European Studies Centre Occasional Paper No. 7/06 Geographies of Ethnopolitics: Unravelling the Spatial and Political Economies of ‘Ethnic Conflict’ Stefan Bužar April 2006 Dr Stefan Bužar is Junior Research Fellow in geography at Christ Church College, Unversity of Oxford, and Professor of Economic Geography at the University of Gdansk in Poland. He was the Larkinson Scholar at St Hugh's College, Oxford, from 2000-2003, before taking up a Research Fellowship at Queen Mary, University of London. His research interests mainly revolve around issues of urban social inequality in the post-socialist countries of Eastern and Central Europe, and he is the author of numerous academic papers on the subject. 2 Abstract The paper examines the relationship between spatial structures and ethnopolitical problems and discourses in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Its main aim is to challenge the dominant narratives about the genesis of the ‘ethnic war’ that supposedly engulfed this country in 2001, by investigating some of the affected areas’ underlying social, economic and political geographies. The main argument of the paper is that ethnopolitical conflicts lie at the tip of an iceberg of socio-spatial contradictions that accumulated during the days of Yugoslav modernisation, and were further strengthened by the post-communist transition. The paper thus examines the political and territorial processes that predicated the rise of these ethnopolitical struggles. It identifies several ways in which the ‘ethnic war’ discourse was produced through the assignment of factual authority to particular geographical narratives. 3 Introduction The spatial contingencies of ethnic politics and nationalism in the post-socialist states of Southeastern Europe (SEE) have been underplayed in the area studies literature, despite the growing engagement with the discursive production of spaces of difference within disciplines like human geography and anthropology.
