In the wake of the negotiations over Kosovo's status and the oncoming parliamentary elections in Macedonia any kind of official statements which refers to "Greater Albania" can cause a major crisis not just in Macedonia, but in the region as well.

His controversial comment bluntly states the possible reorganization of the borders between the Albania and Macedonia once the negotiations over Kosovo continue.

The heated debate over the "freedom of speech" in the past few weeks made me think of why the "freedom of speech" is so often abused by the Macedonian journalists.

I will use some excerpts from Paul Sterling's article "Impartiality and Personal Morality", which mainly deal with the Traditional Italian society, but his theory is perfectly applicable to Macedonia as well.
