Macedonia Press Review ' December 30

DNEVNIK
“Death to Albanians, Greeks, Bulgarians”, “One Macedonia”, “Pure Macedonia”… These are some of the groups that pop up every day on the social network Facebook inviting others to join them. One of the groups was launched directly against the former columnist of Dnevnik daily, Irena Cvetkovik. In it, its “fans” who do not agree with her stance, insult her. The state institutions are almost unable to stop the spreading of religious and national hatred trough the internet, the daily says.  

UTRINSKI VESNIK
Macedonia’s budget is empty. The projected revenues from January till December, including the latest revisions, have failed. This puts under big question the accomplishment of this year’s projections. Some 367 million euros should be cashed in only in December but this is practically impossible, the daily says.


VREME
The getting of date for start of Macedonia’s accession talks with the EU will be the top priority of the country’s diplomacy in 2010, the Foreign Minister Antonio Milososki told in his expose in front of the parliamentary commission for  foreign affairs. His statement that this year was a successful for the country was strongly opposed by the opposition deputies who argued that no progress has been made on the most important issue, the talks with Greece over the name dispute.
