Uncertainty over start of EU accession talks – Finland writes new proposals to bridge French – no !!! Stuck in European “backyard” games and strategies or by their own mistakes? Where are the Balkan Neighbors in the New Negotiating Strategy !? Is Bulgaria’s negotiating framework a knockout of the Neighborhood Agreement?
In Top Topic debate with:
Former ambassadors Gjorgji Spasov and Muhamed Halili, and Ljupco Petkovski, CEO of Eurotink.

Top Topic tonight at 19.15 with Bobby Hristov live and the leadership meeting on the new SPO prosecution law and fate

When the perpetrator knocks on a door for one penny, the debt becomes one thousand times bigger. And social cases get executive decisions, and there is a change of ID numbers so executors knock on the wrong door. Can citizens be saved from paying large sums of debt, from blocked accounts? Will the changes in the Law on Enforcement increase the collection, but also the rights of the citizens? Why is the Enforcement Tariff List found in the assessment of the Constitutional Court?
Debating Vesna Delovska from the Chamber of Enforcement Officers, Liljana Ilievska from the Ombudsman Office and Zoran Vasilevski Lawyer and a member of Levica.

Law on the Use of Languages Stuck in a Legal and Political Maze. Will it come into force at all? Is there any integrity for the Constitutional Court to find a way out? How crucial is the assessment of the Venice Commission whether the law is in line with European laws? Debate is Trendafil Ivanovski, a former judge in the constitutional court and professors Bekim Kadriu and Dimitar Apasiev.

The annual program of the Ministry of Culture caused a storm of reactions: Unfair competition, stimulation of unknown companies – the Macedonian Association of Publishers reacts. Conflict of interests of commission members from various areas, not transparency, courtship – are part of the criticism of the members. But how can a child performer and songs for UCK get 300,000 denars against many eminent singers? Are there any abuses in the allocation of funds from the Annual Program?
Guest at Top Topic is the Minister of Culture Robert Alagjozovski.

From this interview, inter alia, the Minister stated:

As a solution to the State Archives, we are also considering the starting building of the Archive, but it has been changed from before and is not the most ideal solution
We have a great budget, one of the better in the region, but the internal structure of the budget is inherited and inherited debts. We will change the structure of the budget.
There are over 27 festivals in the drama industry. Is this normal in a country of 2 million inhabitants? We are facing a situation in which we will have to deal with the wrong policy. We have too many festivals.
For Wigan, it’s a technical mistake. The artist received a reward in two areas. He asked for 200,000 and got 80,000 to record a CD, and asked for 400,000, and received 300,000 for a promotional concert.
The productions do not have enough funds to organize the concerts. The salaries are small and have no commercial logic to organize concerts. Subsidy will affect the price of the map.
The public and national interest is important, and this enters into the assessment why a private and commercial company, such as Avalon, receives a subsidy.
In culture it is not crucial how the citizen association is registered. Everyone has the right to apply.
There were only three cases of conflict of interest. Saso Kokalanov publicly withdrew, while Toni Vasic and Ivana Vaseva abandoned both projects at the level of all other supported projects – 60,000 den.
This year there is no money for royalties.
Robert Alagjozovski: Unable to change the Annual Program, which we will begin to do from March, we tried to eliminate the anomalies established in previous years – that they are financed for some to the detriment of others. We tried to give it everywhere ie. scattering budget.
The Annual Program has made the best estimate, and we will solve all remarks in an appeal procedure.

Oliver Ristovski:
The new Reform Council has not yet been formed.
: How to resolve this Trial Chamber?
: By April, the report for all courts will be ready.
: The government has no dilemmas. The report locates crime in the judiciary. It’s the prosecution’s job.
: The changes will have a new approach to scoring the judges and presidents. It will not only be quantitative but also qualitative.
: It is true that judges have progressed on the basis of false data.
: I do not know about the special investigation announced by the President of the Supreme Court.
: Control in courts will end soon. All courts will be checked.

Goce Kocevski:
Is the Prosecution willing and able to solve this scandal?
: The College’s counterfeit diplomas are an example of how they are not handled.
: Courts have to be specified where there are flaws and an extraordinary re-evaluation has to be carried out there.
: Extraordinary re-evaluation is not disputable or illegal. Who and how it will be implemented is important.
: If the commission found that members of the Trial Chamber did not undertake anything about maltreatment, it was criminal acts and had to report it.
: The distribution of objects is public, there is a huge public interest, the report should not be classified.
: The presidents of the courts have too many powers, it allows them to be misused.

Gordana Duvnjak:
The public prosecutor’s office should locate the perpetrators. That’s the only way to get a solution.
: There must not be amnesty or amnesia of what happened. It’s unfair to honest judges.
: Representatives of the judicial fails themselves seek clear criteria for advancement.
: These processes last long. For months we waited for the report, we are now waiting to declassify.
: There is a covenant for silence in the judiciary. Everyone knows about irregularities, but no one has taken anything.

Zvonko Davidovic:
No judge has spoken out in public until he was directly or personally affected.
: Re-evaluating the work of judges is necessary.

Pavle Vascopoulos:
The obsession of the Macedonian issue in Greece is renewing. Protests in Thessaloniki and Athens are images of how an average Greek responds to this issue.
The Macedonian issue is a complement to the general difficult situation in Greece and the financial crisis.
An average Greek citizen believes that Macedonia is part of antiquity and heritage.
There is moderate electricity in Greece, not all ultra nationalists.
In the 1990s Macedonia was a threat to the Greek national identity, now redefining the Macedonian identity according to Greek wishes is required.
I can not predict what will happen. The blockade in Bucharest in 2008 was a surprise to me.
If there is no reform, make sure that the mutual solution to the name dispute will not be easy.
Northern or Upper Macedonia, a country of “guests who came to our region”, will most easily pass by the average Greek citizen.

Ljubomir Gajdov:
Yesterday’s protest is a defeat for Greek chauvinists.
The number of people at the protest in Athens is not an expression of the views of the Greek government.
One of the biggest lies in the world history is that Macedonia is Greek.
Nationalism and chauvinism in Greece are learned from a kindergarten. The church has a great role in that direction.
A big problem is the reparations that will have to be paid when we enter the EU.
Greek politicians are scaring the people by convincing them that we want to take something from them.
Greece can not reconcile with the fact that Macedonia becomes a serious international factor and will be admitted to the EU and NATO.
In this situation, Greece is clashing with the interest of great power, not with the Macedonian state leadership.

Jovan Donev:
7 out of 10 Greeks do not accept a name with a word Macedonia.
The Greek government wants to reduce the significance of the protests.
The Greek government is pressuring Macedonia to improve its ratings after failing with Cyprus.
Not the name problem, the problem is the Macedonian nation.
The problem is simple, if you are a Macedonian, Bulgarian or Greek.
We know that we are not a threat to anyone, but they are educated for generations.
We demand the blame all the time on our side.
The Hague verdict is clear, we have no claim to Greece. Macedonian media are catching up in the Greek PR tricks.
The Macedonian public has no information because there is no strategy for the negotiations.
There should be discretion, but we do not have a strategy and a red line.
We do not have a state consensus since the fifties. We are down to daily politics. Dimitrov’s statement is the last attempt to defend something.
We got into a very bad situation.
Why June is the deadline for solving the problem? Who accepted that term? The issue will not be resolved by then, only the crisis in Macedonia will deepen.
Nimetz left a temporary settlement. It is obvious that he received a signal for such a thing and obtained consent.
Kodzias will not offer anything more than Nimitz. There are no Macedonian and Cyrillic passports.
The question is why the Macedonian state leadership accepted to negotiate something beyond the Interim Accord.
I do not expect anything from these negotiations. Only deepening the crisis.

The name negotiations are entering a critical stage – are the priorities of Macedonia defined? How to reach a consensus on issues of national interest when the political price is the highest? Whether the Law and the use of languages ​​derives from the Ohrid Framework Agreement are debated by professors Ljubomir Frckoski and Vlado Popovski who participated in its creation, but also in the writing of the Constitution.

Ljubomir Frckoski among other things stated:

The priority is our identity, the name is secondary, and I think that some kind of agreement has been reached for that package.
The solutions offered in the package stand in the column people – Macedonians and New Macedonians or in the language of modern Macedonian
If the irredentism according to the Greeks means that a change of Article 49 of the Constitution of the Republic of Macedonia (for minorities) is required, that is a problem because we have changed it once.
A referendum protects the ruling head of the decision and concretes it, but this should happen in another political atmosphere. Maybe at the same time with the NATO referendum.
When dealing with such problems, the political price is always high. There is no free lunch. But I think the climate is now favorable # NVS
The Greeks feel that the solution will go to the division of the name of Macedonia and that is the main reason for their anxiety, and secondly, they do not share the circle of profiting the culture related to it.

Vlado Popovski said among other things:

The willingness of both sides to resolve the name must be used, because it is not known when this chance is repeated.
The way out is to see exactly what the Greeks think under irredentism. Article 49 of the Constitution can not be this because it is already arranged at the request of Greece.
The treaty can not impose obligations on third parties – some countries may lean toward the solution to the name, and some will not. It is comical to ask someone to adhere to the new name.

Asked about the new composition of the IC, he said that it was a matter of people who spent many years in the party hierarchy, and whose activism went through all party stages. “Some of them were engaged in the central organs of the party, such as the processes when we have regional or republic electoral headquarters before the elections. I think that these are people who are extremely important for the party from the past, people who are strongly motivated, people I suppose will be a precursor to many ideas, people who will add value to the VMRO-DPMNE itself in the coming ” , said Mitzkoski.

Asked about the new Secretary General, Igor Janushev, a man who appears in the “bombs” and receives orders from Mile Janakievski, Miskoski described him as a longtime member of the party and his close associate. Miskovski added that he did not hear anything from the content in the bombs and that he did not want to comment on illegally acquired materials.

“Janushev is a close associate of Hristijan Mickoski, and when I was a secretary general he was my associate, he is not a collaborator of Mile Janakievski.”

For the absence or “cleansing” of old officials such as Milososki and Dimovski, who opposed holding the Congress and were part of such a party initiative, Miskovski said that this is a new composition of IC, that it is a dynamic process.

“This is his initial version, which will end up adding new people. This composition is a good starting position that will be added to the final physiognomy. “

The new generation of politicians in Macedonia and Greece ahead of a historic chance. Will Zaev and Tsipras use the geopolitical challenge and will continue after the new Balkan course? Why the Greek political scene has collapsed, but it is peaceful in the Macedonian one? Referendum on the solution to the name dispute – necessity or risk?
Tonight Dososki, Imer Selmani and Stojan Andov are debating in the top topic on your side tonight. Watch the Top Tema on your side with Sanja Vasic.
