“Regarding the rule of law and delivering justice in Macedonia, there should be no mystifications: we are still far from the desired goal for the rule of law to function in the Macedonian society, which independently and without a “roll call” from politics and the public, would be capable of delivering justice in a reasonable timeframe and with the needed integrity (based on evidence!) in the procedures prescribed by the law”, writes Saso Ordanoski in “Justice is kindly asked to wake up!”
“The elections are his third chance to settle with all those who have abused the privileges of state positions at all levels. In the party they know their faces very well. Unless, if they don’t leave the silence and mutual cover-up, absence of intra-party democratic loudness as self-punishment for the April elections”, writes Zoran Ivanov in “Cadre broom”.
