According to the author of this paper, Macedonia is in deep trouble. There is a climate of mistrust between all the political parties, intolerance of minority groups is increasing, and fear is generated by the all-pervasive control of the main governing party. In addition to this, the country's accession process to the EU, maybe the only element keeping the country united, has been blocked. This paper looks at the challenges facing Macedonia and argues that the only way to prevent the country from becoming even more unstable is for the accession negotiations to start without further delay.
