COMMENT
 Together for transparencyThe holidays have come and go. It was a chance for each one of us to put aside, at least for a while, the things that had been going on before. We greeted and said farewell to the Olympics. Besides the politics (which has become kind of fashion that surprises nobody), much has been talked about the civic sector. Who spends how much, where the money go, who takes what, who and why finances it, and a number of other questions that are from time to time referred to the civil society organizations. |  |
Civil Society Organization and the territorial organization
Common attitude for support of the democratic transformationThe organizations - members of the Committee of the Civic Platform of Macedonia held a public debate with the President of the Republic of Macedonia, Branko Crvenkovski on 23 July 2004, discussing the process of decentralization of the country, that is the proposal - law on the local government territorial organization. Participant at the debate were 50 civil society organizations. The panel discussion followed after the non-transparent conducting of the negotiation process for the new territorial organization, due to the lack of information the civil society organizations found it difficult to assume a certain attitude regarding this issue. | |

VIEWS: Dr Biljana Vankovska
(Ir)responsibility of the civic sectorNot so long ago, it seemed that we were witnesses of regeneration of the civic sector: the post-conflict period and especially the one in the eve of the parliamentary elections from 2002 created an illusion that finally we would release ourselves from a fragmented, impotent and sterile civil society. Under the motto “Power is in people”, the non-governmental sector rushed into the actual processes, and of vital importance for the country. | |
