Resume:
"...Facing the 5th of November, when the European Commission is to publish the 2008 progress reports, Macedonia and the other countries in the region are considering the options for speeding up the process of accession to the European Union. However, the chances for receiving “positive reports” are slim for most of the countries from the Western Balkans. When it comes to Macedonia, the irregularities at the 2008 early parliamentary elections as well as the difficulties regarding political reforms, such as lack of political dialogue between the government and opposition, decrease the likeliness that Macedonia will start accession talks in the years to come unless there is a consolidated reform process that would be tested in the upcoming elections of March 2009."
