Zooming out on Macedonia

With everything else happening inside and outside Europe it is of course easy to lose sight of developments in the Balkans. News about this seem to drown in the media noise. Experts on the issue, however, in the last years have stressed the need for a comprehensive approach to the issue, arguing that it is not enough to look through the prism of enlargement alone; there is a looming crisis. The last meeting of EU Foreign Ministers on 20 June highlighted the problem. Below is some material which can help to zoom out not only on the country itself but the more general developments on the Balkan. Nothing can be taken for granted even in this region when it comes to further EU enlargement, peace and prosperity.
