    2004 Country Report on Human Rights Practices in Macedonia Page 1 of 16 Macedonia Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2004 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor February 28, 2005 Macedonia is a parliamentary democracy with multiethnic party representation and a popularly elected president. In 2001, the country experienced an insurgency conducted by Kosovar and indigenous ethnic Albanians. In August 2001, domestic political parties signed the Framework Agreement (FWA) that called for implementation of constitutional and legislative changes to lay the foundation for improved civil rights for ethnic minority groups. Parliament had completed nearly all remaining FWA-mandated legislative actions by year's end, including new laws on fiscal and administrative decentralization and municipal boundaries, which provided for enhanced minority civil rights and devolution of power to local governments. In April, following the death of former president Boris Trajkovski, Branko Crvenkovski was elected President in elections deemed generally free and fair by international observers. Former Interior Minister Hari Kostov became Prime Minister in May, but resigned after less than 6 months in office. Former Defense Minister Vlado Buckovski became Prime Minister in December. The Constitution provides for an independent judiciary; however, corruption, coercion and political influence at times limited its ability to function efficiently. The Ministry of Interior (MOI), which oversees the uniformed police, the non-uniformed police, the police reservists, the internal intelligence service, and the newly-formed Border Police, is under the control of a civilian minister; a parliamentary commission oversees operations. The civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security forces. Some members of the security forces committed human rights abuses.

The user has requested enhancement of the downloaded file. “The role of the President of the Republic of Macedonia in promoting interfaith dialog” Xhemail Çupi, Master of Diplomacy South East European University – Tetovo Abstract The conflict of 2001 changed the course of interethnic and interreligious harmony in the Republic of Macedonia. This situation was at first understood by the former president Boris Trajkovksi, who was methodist evangelist, who did not belong to any of the two polarized communities, Orthodox and Muslim, and with international assistance initiated for the first time the interfaith dialogue. This practice of weak influence was inherited by the succeeding president, Branko Crvenkovski, and this impact almost disappeared completely during the mandate of president Gjorgji Ivanov. Today, the current problem is the issue of the consensual president; this led to other early parliamentary elections. Does it mean that by electing the same president we will have the same political stalemate and religious disharmony? Through this research, my goal is to discuss the role of the President in promoting interfaith harmony and to emphasize the importance of the consensual president accepted by both ethnic and religious majority. All the presidents of the Republic of Macedonia will be the case study in this research.

  • The Greece – Macedonia Name Dispute
    SECURITY IS WHAT THE STATE MAKES OF IT: THE GREECE – MACEDONIA NAME DISPUTE By Senada Lamovska Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations European Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Michael Merlingen Word Count: 16 544 CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2012 Abstract The main purpose of this thesis is to answer the question as to why the Greek-Macedonian name dispute has proven intractable so far. By drawing on the literature on the security dilemma and the Copenhagen school of securitization, I will argue, firstly, that the Greek-Macedonian name dispute has proven intractable so far because it is a case of an intertwined interstate and societal security dilemma, involving both territorial and societal integrity as reference objects of security. In addition to that, I argue that these security dilemmas are the result of securitising moves by politicians, official security experts, civil society actors and media organisations in Greece and Macedonia. These respective moves were accepted by the Greek and by the Macedonian population because of a number of discursive and non-discursive facilitating conditions, notably historical conditions, and demographic conditions.

Without his guidance, knowledge and continuous support and encouragement this thesis would not have been possible.
