His character becomes All data collected as part of this research indicates to a reasonably more and more interesting. Bosko Nelkoski was appointed to the position grounded suspicion that in 2012 the National Agency for European Head of the National Agency coming from the leading party’s Youth Educational Programmes and Mobility (hereinafter: the National Agency) Alliance, in other words: a politically active person. Apart from being the has yet again awarded project grants in an unfair and biased manner to head of this important institution, Nelkoski appears as director of the the benefit of the same privileged group of civil society organizations non-governmental Pan-European Alliance, and manager of an agricultural (CSOs) as previously. In all fairness, CSOs from the Republic of Macedonia firm. In addition, Bosko Nelkoski is the founder of CSO Youth Forum Eye with relevant capacity are rightfully awarded grants by various donors from Struga (his birthplace), associate and trainer of most CSOs that and they, in turn, demonstrate excellent results in their work. The main have benefited from grants awarded by the National Agency, but also by reason behind this institutionally refashioned scandal is identified Brussels (Career Centre from Bitola, Council of Youth NGOs, Youth Creative in the fact that crime continues to go unsanctioned in the Republic Centre from Veles, Macedonian Youth Press, Youth Development Fund from of Macedonia, as well as that 2010 correction measures proved to be Ohrid, Denica, etc.). Through his father, Trajce Nelkoski, Bosko Nelkoski’s inadequate. Personal relations between some National Agency employees name is linked to CSOs Centre for Ruran1 Development in Southeast Europe and specific representatives of grant-awarded CSOs continue to exist, and Fund for Inter-Regional Cooperation, as well as the privately-owned giving leverage to a handful of organizations compared to other CSOs in company Agronomija Organika, whose founders are two persons who are Macedonia, and thereby significantly hindering open competition under also heads of sectors at the National Agency, both recruited by Bosko equitable and fair terms and conditions. Nelkoski himself. One of the founders comes from Delcevo, while the The main character in this episode is yet again Bosko Nelkoski, other is from Skopje, the seat of the company however is village Draslajca, former Director of the National Agency, who was never sanctioned, not which is the birthplace of Bosko Nelkoski’s father who – by the way – is even dismissed from office for the malpractices performed in 2009. also a three-time beneficiary of agricultural subsidies awarded by the Obviously, Nelkoski’s handpicked dream-team stayed loyal to him Government of Republic of Macedonia. and continued to award grants to “familiar” organizations. This time Obviously, “First Brussels, then Skopje” approach works as clockwork. however, the practice seems fine-tuned: first, the organizations apply Same non-governmental (para)youth organizations appear as grant- on centralized Calls for Proposals from Brussels. Getting a grant from beneficiaries of the National Agency, but also as beneficiaries of the Brussels is not as difficult as one might imagine, especially having in Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (hereinafter: the mind that the National Agency discloses actual information on Calls for Executive Agency) from Brussels, under centralized actions. Except Proposals only to a “special” group of privileged organizations. As soon for Career Centre, Volunteers Centre and several other organizations, as the project application is approved by Brussels, the organization receives a green light for becoming “successful” bidder in the National 1 Agency as well. Such a practice is perfect alibi for the National Agency’s Translator’s note: the word ‘rural’ is misspelled on purpose, as explained later in the document. To convey the truthfulness of the text, conscious misspelling was made in “impeccable grant-giving track record”. the English translation as well. 7 Seventeenth quarterly accession watch report Brussels has approved funds for the organizations enlisted in Table 1 made to cover up the actual addresses (for example, Council of Youth NGOs that provides an overview on the number of projects approved and the appears as a grant-beneficiary in 8 projects (total value of 158,582.50 relevant project amounts.

This group also includes organizations whose non-governmental Table 1 – Centralized projects status is suspicious, judging on the basis of their activities (for example, The analysis shows that the total amount of “suspicious” funds Denica is known to the Macedonian public as the organizer of counter- exceeds 1.3 million EUR, which is a rather significant figure that should protests on Skopje square related to the construction of a church), etc. raise concerns in the European Commission.

  • FYR Macedonia
    FYR Macedonia SABER Country Report WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT 2014 Dimensions Status 1. Strategic Framework In the Former Yugoslav Republic (FYR) of Macedonia, the government is the strongest advocate and initiator for strengthening workforce development (WfD). However, Macedonia’s top-down approach to WfD policy has not engendered coordination among government agencies and non-government stakeholders. This has impeded the establishment of institutionalized mechanisms for ensuring an efficient and rational approach to WfD and an efficient utilization of the capacities of state institutions. Social dialogue is the weakest component of this dimension, as it is still insufficiently developed. 2. System Oversight Numerous reform efforts have been undertaken in the last decade to increase the attractiveness and relevance of vocational education and training (VET) to the labor market, yet the VET system remains in a transitional stage. The country has embarked on processes to develop standards of qualification, changes in the structure of the VET system, quality assurance, expansion of the network of providers, and diversification of pathways for education and training, but it will take time for these initiatives to generate the desired effects. 3. Service Delivery The relevance of training programs is high on the policy agenda; however, the results are still not at a satisfactory level. Despite a number of good practices and initiatives at the central level, there are consistent mismatches between education supply and labor demand. Collaboration between the business sector and training providers has been weak, something that has negative implications for the relevance of the education supply. Existing opportunities for business to become more involved have not been sufficiently utilized.

  • Guida a Eurovision: Europe Shine a Light
    La prima volta dell’Eurovision Song Contest annullato L’edizione 2020 dell’Eurovision Song Contest non andrà in scena. Era in programma il 12, 14 e 16 maggio alla Ahoy Arena di Rotterdam, nei Paesi Bassi, ma la pandemia da Coronavirus che partendo dalla Cina ha coinvolto prima l’Italia, poi tutta Europa ed il resto del Mondo, ha portato l’EBU e la tv pubblica olandese all’unica decisione possibile: cancellare la manifestazione per quest’anno. Non è mai successo, nella storia del concorso, che sia saltata un'edizione, nemmeno quando problemi tecnici ed economici, in passato, ne avevano messo in forte dubbio lo svolgimento. Una decisione sofferta, ovviamente, perché i motori erano già caldi e la messa a punto dell’area, con la costruzione del palco, era ormai prossima; tanti i fan lasciati delusi. L’EBU ha spiegato che non sarebbe stato possibile mettere in pratica nessuna delle altre ipotesi: uno show da remoto, oltre a causare evidenti squilibri tecnici fra i vari paesi, non avrebbe avuto lo stesso appeal dell’evento, fortemente aggregativo. Per gli stessi motivi è stata scartata l’idea di andare in onda senza pubblico, mentre un rinvio a settembre o in un qualunque altro mese, oltre a dare meno tempo alla tv vincitrice per organizzare l’edizione 2021, non avrebbe comunque garantito lo svolgimento dell’evento vista l’evoluzione imprevedibile della pandemia. Allo stesso tempo, l’EBU ha dato parere favorevole alla designazione per l’Eurovision 2021 degli stessi interpreti scelti per il 2020: non tutte le emittenti hanno fatto questa scelta. Tutte le canzoni invece dovranno essere nuove, perché resta valida la regola per la quale i brani non devono essere stati pubblicati antecedentemente al 1° settembre dell’anno precedente all’edizione.
