Corruption scandals, illegal eavesdropping, political tensions over the election of a new speaker of the Macedonian parliament have attracted the attention of the international community.
The new coalition government formed by Social Democrat leader Zoran Zaev sees EU integration as a top priority. The country faces a long and difficult road of rapprochement with the Euro-Atlantic community. The main challenges are the fight against corruption, the establishment of the rule of law and equality for citizens.
What lies ahead for Macedonia on its European path?
How can Bulgaria's experience be useful?
