The referendum in Macedonia

On the 30th of September a referendum was help in Macedonia. This Sunday, Macedonians voted on the question: “Are you in favor of membership in NATO and European Union by accepting the deal between (the) Republic of Macedonia and Republic of Greece?”

The referendum was introduced by globalist forces under the pretext of renaming of the country, changing its official name to the ‘Republic of North Macedonia’, a move that would resolve a decades-old name dispute. However, the referendum would also include the state in NATO and the European Union.

The referendum failed because of  low voter turnout (that stood at just 36.8%). High voter turnout was in the interests of globalists, who even used the Albanian factor to try to promote active participation.

The prime minister of Albania, Edie Ram, demanded that all Albanians in Macedonia vote in favor of the referendum, saying that those who don’t vote will be considered traitors. He exclaimed that on Sunday, all Albanians will vote for a “European Macedonia.”

The western politicians now try to support this failed referendum and promess Macedonia an «historic opportunity». «NATO’s door is open», said NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

Escalation in Kosovo

The situation in Serbia has grown dangerous, perhaps even close to the war. Serbia has put its troops on alert due to events in Kosovo.

On Saturday the military was place on high alert in reaction to the actions of the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo, where Kosovar Albanian leader Hashim Thaci was escorted to the Serb-majority region of the country for a brief, unannounced visit.

“We will inform Putin of the latest developments and ask his support in all international forums”, the Serbian side exclaimed.

The situation in Kosovo has the potential to provoke major instability in the region, as the Albanians living in the Serb-majority area in Kosovo strengthen their influence.
