C R I S I S W E B N E W S Tuesday January 19, 1999 ICG SOUTH BALKANS -------------------------- ICG's latest report on Albania, "The State of Albania", looks at the internal political and security situation in the country, where Premier Pandeli Majko's new coalition government has been slowly consolidating its hold over the administration since the country was rocked by political violence in September. The report also makes several recommendations aimed at restarting the political process and improving the law and order situation. http://www.crisisweb.org/projects/sbalkans/reports/alb05mai.htm Meanwhile, in Macedonia, the recent parliamentary elections and the change of government represent a landmark in the country's development, suggests ICG in a new report entitled "Macedonia: New faces in Skopje". The smooth transition of power from one political camp to another and the fact that the "radicals" from both major ethnic groups rather than the more moderate parties form the new government are significant in themselves. If the new government manages to solve Macedonia's problems, it might also have repercussions throughout the region. This report, prepared by ICG's field analyst in Skopje, looks back and draws lessons from the elections and the formation of the new government, looks ahead at the key policy changes facing the new administration, and assesses the capacity of the ruling coalition to meet those challenges. http://www.crisisweb.org/projects/sbalkans/reports/mac06main.htm For older related ICG Reports on Macedonia and Albania, see our index pages at http://www.greekhelsinki.gr/english/reports/ICG-Reports-Macedonia.html and http://www.greekhelsinki.gr/english/reports/ICG-Reports-Albania.html _________________________________________________________ * ALST-L at alb-net.com / Albanian Studies Discussion List * To contact the list owner: ALST-L-Approval at alb-net.com
