Infamous jubilee: 15 years since the EU candidate status of the Republic of Northern Macedonia

On 17.12. 15 years ago, Macedonia received EU candidate status. Fifteen years later, the country welcomes this date with a confirmed blockade on its start of negotiations with the EU Fifteen years later, on the eve of December 17, 2020, it was confirmed that the country remains at the gates of Brussels, without the opportunity to start negotiations with the EU. Coincidence, irony of history, or more? According to the Macedonian government, this is a huge geostrategic mistake of the EU.
"Bulgaria 's veto was confirmed, which does not allow the start of our country' s negotiations in the EU, although according to all reports from the European institutions, we met all the criteria to accept the negotiating framework and hold the first intergovernmental conference to start negotiations. . We deliver, and the EU has not kept its promises, and at the moment we are not getting the right answer. Bulgaria and the EU repeat the mistake regarding Northern Macedonia. "The historic mistake in 2019 is now a huge geostrategic mistake of the EU," the government said last night.
There are reasons for disappointment, given that 15 years ago Macedonia was called a "Balkan leader" on the integration path.
Where we were, where we are
As an illustration, when Macedonia received candidate status in 2005, Montenegro was still not an independent state. It became independent in 2007, and in 2012 officially began negotiations with the EU. Serbia received candidate status in March 2012 and began negotiations with the EU the following year. The first of the former Yugoslavia to join the EU was Slovenia on 1 May 2004. The second of the countries of the former Yugoslavia is Croatia, which became a member of the EU on July 1, 2013.
Macedonia's European story began after the country's independence in 1991, when both the ruling and opposition parties reached a consensus that Macedonia's future is in the EU.

UN: The state should compensate Roma women from Suto Orizari who were refused to choose a gynecologist

The first UN decision establishing unequal access and discrimination
by a gynecologist in Macedonia, based on ethnicity
On December 2, the United Nations (UN) Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women found a violation of the right to equal treatment and discrimination by two women from Suto Orizari who were barred from receiving gynecological services. After a five-year battle, the UN has identified the injustice and made a series of recommendations to the state for structural changes and the eradication of harmful practices in accessing gynecological services for Roma women.
In September 2016, S.B. and MB filed a lawsuit with the Basic Court in Skopje against a private gynecological practice in Skopje after in 2015 they were refused to choose a gynecologist as their family doctor and to exercise their right to health care, with an explanation by the nurse that the practice more does not accept young patients. The two women asked the Court to find that they had been discriminated against on the grounds of ethnicity and that their right to equal treatment for the protection of reproductive health had been violated. At the same time, in 2015, on the same days, women from the Macedonian ethnic community also submitted a request for selection of a family gynecologist and were immediately admitted and examined.
The Basic Court Skopje rejected the lawsuit for discrimination of SB and MB as unfounded. The verdict was appealed to the Court of Appeals, which upheld the first-instance decision that there was no discrimination in this case. Following the exhaustion of national remedies, in 2019 the Suto Orizari Women's Initiative, with the support of HERA and the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights, filed an individual complaint of discrimination against the two Roma women with the Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women in .
At its 77th session, the Committee found a violation of the rights of the two Roma women guaranteed under Articles 1, 2 and 12 of the Convention, ie a violation of their rights and discrimination in access to sexual and reproductive health services. In particular, the Committee found that the State had not ensured a) the practical realization of the principle of non-discrimination in access to reproductive health services, b) effective protection against discrimination against women within the judicial system and c) appropriate measures to eliminate discrimination against these women performed by the involved persons, ie the private gynecological practice.
This decision of the Committee is the first such decision against our country, which is especially important because it clearly recognizes the discrimination against Roma women and the need for available health care related to their sexual and reproductive health. The Committee also points out the failure of the state to take specific measures, the need to raise the awareness of judges about discrimination, as well as the legal aspects of the burden of proof.
In accordance with some of the recommendations made by the Committee for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the Women's Initiative Suto Orizari requests:
- The state to compensate women for the material and moral damage suffered from unequal access to regular gynecological services;
- The Ministry of Health in the future to provide free health services for the reproductive health of Roma women who are victims of discrimination and inhuman treatment;
- As soon as possible to start working the new gynecological practice in the municipality of Suto Orizari announced by the Ministry of Health, which is still not in operation;
- The Ministry of Health to organize trainings for health professionals, especially for gynecologists, regarding discrimination against Roma and their specific needs as part of continuing medical education;
- The Government of the Republic of Northern Macedonia to publicly announce the decision and recommendations of the Committee in order to inform all sectors in society.
Additionally, the Suto Orizari Women's Initiative, with the support of HERA and the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights, will request a retrial in order to restore the dignity and honor of Romani women.

Germany: Fake News or Truth - We are looking for people who will lie in bed for 30 days for 11,000 euros

Sounds like a tempting job offer - 11,000 euros for 30 days in bed. What sounds like a dream is actually an offer from the German Air Force (DLR).
The Cologne Center is looking for 12 males and 12 females for the study, where the DLR will do it on behalf of NASA 2021. The study will last 60 days. From that 30 days bed rest.
The DLR pledged 11,000 euros in full participation costs.
"However, it is not easy to earn," said Andrea Nietzsche of the DLR. She is responsible for the selection of candidates and made it clear: - It is not just lying and resting.
Participants in this study must stay in bed for 30 consecutive days, with the head slightly below the feet, or 6 degrees.
They can neither get a book from the shelf nor items from the locker.
"It is especially difficult for men," said Nietzsche. The study lasts a total of 60 days, including two weeks of acclimatization and two weeks of additional care.
Similar studies have already been done in DLR. They are used for testing as measures against degenerative changes in astronauts. In addition to strict bed rest, it is necessary to simulate the state of weightlessness in space.
"That is why there will be more incidents around 'bed rest,'" Nietzsche said. There will be more experiments on the candidates, especially before and after bed rest, but also during bed rest. After bed rest, there is a 14-day recovery phase.
Applicants are required to meet a number of requirements. It is necessary to be aged 24 to 55, body mass index, ie BMI between 19 and 30 and to be between 153 cm and 1.92 cm.
In addition, candidates need to be mentally and physically healthy. The study will take place from April to June 2021. Want to call? Those interested can call the phone number 02203 / 601-5347 or E.mail: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Luxembourg is the richest with 35% above the European average, followed by Germany with 22%.
Austria, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, France and Sweden make up the group of countries that have real individual consumption of 9 to 18 percent above the EU average.
