Macedonia Press Review ' August 11, 2010

Many children in Macedonia are not registered in the state book of birth, so they are invisible to the institutions, the latest research done by the local NGO “Mesecina” has shown. There are between 3,000 and 5,000 such children in the country, most of them Roma, who subsequently cannot get education, medical insurance and social protection, the daily writes.

A wave of price increases is expected to hit the country from September, the daily says. Some estimates say the price of food products may go 25 per cent higher. Fruit and vegetables are already at very high prices, while the price of the bread is also constantly rising.

Macedonian legislators will try to make a last-minute bid to ensure another positive report from the European Commission this November. They have a tight agenda when they return from the summer holidays on August 23, the daily says. They have a two-month period to catch up and pass the bills that are part of the required reforms, as well as show greater co-operation and dialogue among themselves. Before the summer, the parliament work was marred with many heated debates and quarrels that were seen as below the required democratic level.
