  • Macedonia#.Vfgtxxjvxmm.Cleanprint
    https://freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-press/2015/macedonia#.VfGTxxjVXmM.cleanprint Macedonia freedomhouse.org Legal Environment The Macedonian constitution includes basic protections for freedom of the press and of expression, but the authorities do not uphold them impartially. The use of criminal laws to restrict journalistic activity drew international attention in 2013 when Nova Makedonija reporter Tomislav Kezarovski was arrested in May for allegedly revealing the identity of a protected witness in a murder case; he was sentenced to four and a half years in prison that October. The articles in question, which were published in 2008, alleged that police had coerced the witness in a 2005 murder case into giving false testimony. The witness confirmed that account in a court hearing in February 2013 and said he was only given protected status in 2010; the original murder convictions were consequently overturned. Kezarovski was moved to house arrest after his sentencing pending the outcome of an appeal, which he was still awaiting at the end of 2014. Defamation was removed from the penal code in 2012, but a parallel change to the civil defamation law authorized large fines for reporters, editors, and media owners. At least 580 civil defamation suits had been filed since the change by the end of 2014, including dozens of cases against journalists. Many are dropped or settled out of court, often because defendants yield to the threat of crippling financial penalties. In September 2014, an appellate court upheld a January ruling that a reporter and the editor of the independent weekly Fokus had to pay some $12,000 in damages and court costs for a 2013 article that allegedly defamed Saso Mijalkov, head of the Security and Counterintelligence Administration.

  • TOURIST INTENSITY in the POLOG REGION 2011-2019 Ilija Zakoski
    GSJ: Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2021 ISSN 2320-9186 1522 GSJ: Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2021, Online: ISSN 2320-9186 www.globalscientificjournal.com TOURIST INTENSITY IN THE POLOG REGION 2011-2019 Ilija Zakoski KeyWords Polog planning region, tourism, tourism development, tourist intensity, tourist stays. ABSTRACT Opportunities for tourism development in the Republic of North Macedonia (RNM) are numerous. The tourist locations attract more and more interest among the foreign tourists, but it is still not enough to say that they have a significant role in the overall economy of the coun- try. This paper aims to analyse the tourist intensity based on realized arrivals and overnight stays of domestic and foreign tourists in the Polog planning region in the period 2011-2019 and to compare them with the tourist intensity at the state level. The tourist intensity in the RNM expressed through realized arrivals and overnight stays is on the rise. The share of domestic tourists in the total tourist intensity is still higher, but the number of foreign tourists is continuously growing as well. The concept of tourism development that has been practiced in recent decades for many years is in crisis whose result is the loss of the in- ternational tourism market. Part of the tourist intensity of the RNM is accounted to the Polog planning region. The realized tourist intensity based on realized arrivals and overnight stays in the period 2011-2019 as well as the perspectives for future development are presented. INTRODUCTION With the adoption of the Law on Territorial Organization of the Local Self-Government in the Republic of Macedonia in 2004 and the new Regulation on the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NTES) by the European Parliament in 2003, the need to har- monize the existing classification with the new circumstances was imposed.
