The future of Macedonia: a Balkan survivor now needs reform

Volume: 9 pages, pdf

Description:

The United States Institute of Peace and the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI) held a Works hop on Future Issues for Macedonia at the Hotel Bistra in Mavrovo, Macedonia, on October 20–22. Twenty people drawn from a broad spectrum of Macedonia’s political and civil society, including media, human rights, labor, and others, participated in the roundtable discussions, in addition to the conference organizers and session chairs. Invitees reflected the diversity of peoples and int e rests in Macedo nian society as a whole. Each participant was invited as an individual and spoke in her or his personal capacity. As the discussion was not for attribution, nonames will appear in this report. The discussions were informal, amiable, but some times charged. This report tries to describe the cleavages, which were not necessarily ethnic in character, as well as articulate areas of broad, if not universal, agreement.
