Macedonia has witnessed major political and economic developments in the post-communist period. With regard to political development in Macedonia a few aspects deserve our attention. First, party politics has been under stable development in Macedonia based on Western constitutional frameworks. Second, Macedonia has been more secure-both politically and militarily-since the UN Preventive Deployment Force (UNPREDEP) was replaced by the NATO troops. Third, the intensity of ethnic conflict in Macedonia is expected to subside as soon as a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Kosovo is reached.There are also a few important trends in economic development. First, the Macedonian economy has substantially improved due to the strict control and management. Consequently, Macedonian's investment environment appears to be becoming more attractive. Second, the Macedonian economy shall benefit from the reconstruction of Yugoslavia after the war between NATO and Yugoslavia. Third, the international community has committed economic assistance to Macedonia to help support a great number of refugees from Kosovo that settled in Macedonia since the conflict began. This international economic should be useful in helping the Skopje government's plan for economic revival. |
