DPNE “joins” protests, get booed by masses
DPNE’s leader Hristijan Mickoski after doing Zaev’s bidding in Parliament for months, decided to show up to protest with the masses in front of Parliament. However, the gathered Macedonians are not buying what this fake patriot is selling. He was loudly booed, so much so he decided not to hold a speech.
Interesting to read Radio Free Europe describe it as "several thousand protesters" and Washington Times as "several hundred".

Actually, I just saw Radio Free Europe updated what they saw. I would say hundreds of people.
Hundreds of people gathered outside the Macedonian parliament to protest against changing the name of the country to the Republic of North Macedonia. It came as lawmakers were forced to delay the final debate the name change.
The passion is palpable lol.Risto the Great

Kosovo-Serbia Standoff
An 8-point document of the US National Security Council and the State Department wants Pristina to immediately suspend the taxes imposed on goods from Serbia.
SOURCE: TANJUG MONDAY, JANUARY 14, 2019

Otherwise, Pristina will face US sanctions in the shape of Washington withdrawing its support to the Kosovo Security Force (KSF), Kosovo-based Albanian language press is reporting on Monday.
According to Klan Kosova, the document has been sent to the Pristina government.
Earlier, the daily Koha reported, cited by Radio Kontakt Plus, that they learned from the US embassy in Pristina this move had been requested repeatedly from the Kosovo leadership.
"We strongly encourage the renewal of focus on Kosovo's key goals - a European perspective and normalization of relations with Serbia," the embassy said.
However, the Pristina government claims not to have received any message from the US regarding the revoking of trade barriers.
"We did not receive any request from the United States," Avni Arifi, chief of the cabinet of the provisional Kosovo institutions' prime minister, has told Gazeta Express.
Koha Online reported earlier today that Washington has, via its embassy, urged Pristina to abolish the taxes increased by 100 percent and thus pave the way for the continuation of the dialogue with Belgrade.

Albania is encouraging the final agreement between Belgrade and Pristina, as it will allow the unification of Albania with Kosovo, said Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama.
Rama spoke about the final agreement in the Slobodna Zona TV show, as Zeri online reported, that Tirana encourages the completion of this process, which is supported by the United States and the European Union, which will enable the unification of Albania and Kosovo.

Zekiri possible candidate for president?
SDSM vice president Muhamed Zekiri is the government's candidate for President, Albanian-language media reported.
Zekiri was a journalist before becoming a party member. He will turn 40 in March and will fulfill the legal minimum.
SDSM and DUI want a consensus candidate. So far, the name of Professor Denko Maleski was mentioned. There is still no official position either by the party or by Zekiri.

Се уште нема официјален став ниту […]

China flexing its (economic) muscles. Wouldn't be anything unusual at this point.
Why Is China Buying Up Europe’s Ports?
State-owned port operators are the aggressive leading edge of Beijing’s massive Belt and Road project.
- "A pair of deep-pocketed Chinese behemoths, Cosco Shipping Ports and China Merchants Port Holdings, have gone on a buying binge of late, snapping up cargo terminals in the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Atlantic rim. Just last month, Cosco finalized the takeover of the terminal in Zeebrugge, Belgium’s second-biggest port, marking the Chinese firm’s first bridgehead in northwestern Europe.
That deal followed a raft of other acquisitions in Spain, Italy, and Greece in just the last couple of years. Chinese state firms, which once kept close to their home market, now control about one-tenth of all European port capacity.
The port deals are one of the clearest manifestations of Beijing’s ambitious plans to physically link China to Europe by sea, road, rail, and pipeline."
- "That rising influence is spooking many in Europe. With Chinese investment skyrocketing, European leaders are growing increasingly leery that Chinese President Xi Jinping is turning China’s economic heft into political pull. Since Cosco dropped $1 billion into buying and upgrading the once-sleepy Greek port of Piraeus, for example, Beijing has been able to count on Greek assistance to scupper European Union condemnations of China’s behavior on issues including human rights and the South China Sea."
- "And when it comes to ports, Cosco isn’t even the biggest state-owned Chinese firm: China Merchants Port Holdings moves even more cargo and has also been busy overseas, snapping up terminals in Sri Lanka, Djibouti, and Brazil, in addition to earlier acquisitions in Europe."
- "The port deals, and other infrastructure projects associated with the Belt and Road in Central and Eastern Europe, threaten to politically hive off vulnerable members of an already tottering European Union, said van der Putten of the Netherlands Institute."
