  • MACEDONIA UPDATE: Challenges and Choices for the New Government
    MACEDONIA UPDATE: Challenges and Choices for the New Government ICG Balkans Report N°60 Skopje-Brussels, 29 March 1999 Foreword This latest ICG report on Macedonia was written during March, as the new humanitarian catastrophe in neighbouring Kosovo unfolded and reached a new scale. Because of the recent events in Kosovo and the region at large, parts of this report have been overtaken by new developments. In particular, this concerns issues relating to the amount of aid reaching Macedonia, actions taken to alleviate the refugee situation in Macedonia and, most importantly, the Government’s ability to deal with the increasing number of refugees. Indeed, events in the last few days may well have reached a point beyond the Government’s capacity to respond. On the whole however, the analysis and conclusions of this report are still valid and still merit consideration despite the fact that local and international attention is now focusing on developments in Kosovo and their effect on neighbouring countries.

  • Former Yugoslav Macedonia - the Shades of Night?
    Conflict Studies Research Centre G98 Former Yugoslav Macedonia - The Shades Of Night? James Pettifer This paper examines the recent historical background to the crisis in former Yugoslav Macedonia, the role of the UNPREDEP force 1993 - 1999 and consider how far post-communist institutional reform has taken place. It outlines the structural crisis in the government and society and inter-ethnic relations and analyses the position and motivations of the main military and political actors.

Conflict Studies Research Centre ISBN 1-903584-36-1 July 2001 G98 James Pettifer Introduction Among all the Republics of the second Yugoslavia, FYROM was generally praised by the international community for many years as an example of a fairly successful multiethnic and multicultural state that managed its exit from socialist Yugoslavia without significant violence. It seemed to be a beacon of hope in a difficult region. The Yugoslav Federal Army left the Socialist Republic of Macedonia by voluntary agreement, peacefully, although virtually all equipment was also removed, leaving the new state without any defence force. Under its elderly President, Kiro Gligorov, FYROM had achieved independence in a national referendum from FRY by a large majority in September 1991, and was able to survive the difficult period of the Greek economic boycott that followed and also the serious pressures resulting from United Nations economic sanctions in the 1993 to 1995 period against FRY.

Public Opinion Polls 2 Last Change of "Concordia" Command At the end of 2003 officially ceased to exist "Concordia", the EU military mission in Macedonia, which was replaced by the civilian police mission "Proxima". On the occasion spoke Mr. Solana who pointed out that "the main threat for the country's stability is crime, and not the armed conflict anymore, which stresses that the support must be a police one and not military". His estimation was that "the process of stabilization and normalization has reached the point in which the country is in a position to say goodbye to foreign troops". Prime Minister Crvenkovski described Macedonia as a "completely stabilized country in the security sense", whose main priority presently is the economic development and solving social problems. Former Conflict Consequences Repeated disarmament campaign summarized its results at the end of 2003 by informing the public that in the frames of the action for illegal weapon's collection citizens gave 7571 pieces of weapons, 100.000 pieces of ammunition, 1257 pieces and 165 kilograms of explosive, 1001 pieces of accompanying weaponry and 497 meters of wick and cables.

  • Macedonia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Page 1 of 18
    Macedonia, The Former Yugoslav Republic of Page 1 of 18 Macedonia, The Former Yugoslav Republic of Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2001 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 4, 2002 Macedonia, which became independent in 1991 following the breakup of Yugoslavia, is a parliamentary democracy with multiethnic party representation and a popularly elected president. In multiparty parliamentary elections held in 1998, opposition parties defeated parties of the governing coalition in elections that international observers concluded were conducted fairly and reflected the will of the electorate. President Boris Trajkovski was elected in 1999 in elections that were characterized by international observers as having some irregularities, including numerous incidents of ballot stuffing. In May in response to an ethnic-Albanian insurgency that began in February, all major parties represented in Parliament joined a national unity government. The Government generally respects the Constitutional provisions for an independent judiciary, although at times the judiciary was inefficient. In February armed ethnic-Albanian extremists launched a violent insurgency near the Kosovo border. A group of Kosovar and Macedonian ethnic Albanians, calling themselves the "National Liberation Army" (NLA), purporting to fight for greater civil rights for ethnic Albanians in Macedonia, seized territory and launched attacks against government forces. Many observers ascribed other motives to the NLA, including support for criminality and the assertion of political control over affected areas. The insurgency spread through northern and western Macedonia. In June the insurgents occupied Aracinovo, a village five kilometers from the capital, Skopje.
