Interview: Aneta Jovevska, senior scientific associate at the Institute for sociological and political-legal research
Even the most democratic states cannot avoid discrimination of individuals or special groups!Would you like first of all to explain the terms special laws and special groups?
We are talking about the principles of equality and nondiscrimination that are undeniably basic categories of contemporary democracy. Even though the theory offers answers to the dilemmas that these issues open, though, in reality there are numerous unsaid things and problems in their realization. However, we are witnesses every day that even the most democratic countries aren’t immune to problems connected to discrimination of certain individuals or special groups. | |
Organizational changes (1)
Adjusting to the external surroundingThe organizational changes are a necessity for every organization because of the need for adjusting to the dynamic external surrounding. The constant changes in the surrounding – new requests of the clients, facing the competition, facing a new donor, changed government policy, changed social-political environment, must be followed with certain reaction of the organization, change of the rules, systems and procedures, changes of the working performance, new products and services, another way of management etc. | |

Sustainability of the civil sector depends on successful mobilizationSustainability is not only one of the key words in the group of magically unreachable conditions of 99% of the citizen associations in Republic of Macedonia, but also a need for providing a long-term development of the overall civil sector in RM. Led by those reasons, the Centre for institutional development – CIDe organized the conference “Strategies for sustainability of the NGO sector in Macedonia” within the NGO Fair from 2nd to 5th December 2004 in Skopje. | |

Zvegor Surva, Black faces, bright hearts
ReportageOn 14 January in Zvegor, everybody had dark, smiling and joyful faces. Dark on your face symbolizes happiness, it chases the evil spirits, it also means health and wealth in the upcoming year. Even the drivers of the big trucks, the tourists with skis on top of their cars and all the others who had to go through Zvegor in order to reach Bulgaria or go back in Macedonia were stopped, their faces were made dark, and they had to pay “tax” to the Zvegor “surovarskars”. Some of the village “beauties” (which were, in fact, men, dresses as women) have even tried to enter the truck cabins and pass the wish for a happy new summer to the truck drivers with a kiss! | |
