 Cooperation and confrontationAt the moment when this issue of the Civic World will be in the hands of the readers, Macedonia will have a strategy for cooperation with the civil sector for 2007-2011.

It was the reason for “breaking down” a lot of barriers, for movement of ideas and democratic processes, partnerships and bringing together nations through their cultural and economic values that resulted in changing political views and regimes. | |
