1<\/span> Alternativa is close to making a decision about joining the Government. The excitement grows. Zoran Zaev and Afrim Gashi have been meeting every day and after each meeting they announce that Alternativa is about to make a decision. How will we go on after they make the decision? I\u2019ll miss this uncertainty, just as I miss a TV series after watching the last episode of the last season.<\/p>\n

But, still, the decision isn\u2019t the only thing. We need to wait to see the outcome of saving the European integration processes and the unification of progress. How many ministers, how many directors, how many new state employments will the progress bring. Since, my colleagues found out that Alternativa would give in and accept two, instead of three ministerial positions, if their proposal is accepted, the proposal to word one of those positions differently to give it some weight. Something similar to the made-up title for Artan Grubi from DUI \u2013 First Deputy Prime Minister. For instance \u2013 Foremost First Deputy Prime Minister. Or Alternative Deputy Prime Minister. Or Super-Duper Deputy Prime Minister. <\/p>\n

But then DUI might get mad, so Zaev would have to start meeting with Ali Ahmeti as well. And we\u2019ll enter a new phase of the unification process, and we\u2019ll have to wait for DUI to get closer to reaching a decision whether to stay in the Government. Until a tripartite agreement is reached, the office of the alternative Artan Grubi should be called \u201cSecond Deputy Prime Minister, same as the First one.
\nProgress above all.<\/p>\n

2<\/span>Alternativa was getting closer to making a decision, and the expert Facebook community was having a fierce debate over kids who don\u2019t eat peas, the music played in kindergartens and over the price of plastic bags in proportion to the financial incentive of GPs per vaccinated patient. And while everyone in the virtual reality was philosophizing on all those things, in the actual reality no one noticed that the railway traffic in the country was interrupted for three days. As a result of the strike of the railway workers, the trains stood still for three days and there was no transport of people or goods. For three days we wouldn\u2019t have been able to get our peas if they had carried it by train, nor would we have been able to welcome the sultan\u2019s wife at the train station, and truth be told, the raw materials for plastic bags weren\u2019t transported. <\/p>\n

Which country in the world can afford to have a complete suspension of railway traffic and nobody to give a damn about it? Only a country whose government has a Second Deputy Prime Minister, but same as the First one. <\/p>\n

3<\/span> Congratulations on Zoran Stavrevski\u2019s return as coordinator of all VMRO-DPMNE mayors. He himself said it once: We are insane. People should have believed him. And more importantly, people shouldn\u2019t forget. <\/p>\n

4<\/span> The list of special envoys for the Western Balkans is being completed. After the USA and the EU, the UK has appointed Stuart Peach, the former Chief of the Defence Staff of the United Kingdom, Special Envoy to the Western Balkans. That means that we\u2019re a special case. <\/p>\n

Washington, and now London, fear that what\u2019s been accomplished in this region over the past 25 years could crumble overnight. Because the two most stable countries in the Western Balkans, Albania and Macedonia, are being destabilized by Bulgaria, an EU member state. <\/p>\n

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic went to Moscow for the nth time and Putin granted Serbian citizens gas at the old price, which is a cheap heating option. Whereas we\u2019ll continue warming ourselves with the thought that someday we\u2019ll start the accession talks with the EU. Until the EU finds the connection between Tzar Samuil and the Copenhagen criteria. <\/p>\n

5<\/span>Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama passed a National action to completely clean the country and started the activities by cleaning the sea coast, and then the whole country is to be cleaned.<\/p>\n

What sort of ambassadors do western countries send to serve in Tirana? Lightweight diplomatic staff. They\u2019re not as good as the ones sent to Skopje. In Albania ambassadors don\u2019t clean their garbage as ours do, so the Government decided to clean it on their own. <\/p>\n

We\u2019re lucky that our ambassadors are hardworking people interested in keeping the environment clean, so they\u2019re the ones who collect our garbage. We can\u2019t waste our time on cleaning now, we\u2019re busy uniting the progress. Someone has to bring progress after all, right? <\/p>\n
