Иванец за борбата за граѓаните и драконските закони на Путин
The journalist and researcher, Vladislav Ivanets, who does not return to Russia to avoid mobilization, is also a guest in Labyrinth. He says that civil society does not support the invasion of Ukraine, and anyone who dares to say so risks many years in prison. Independent media works only from exile. Due to Putin's draconian laws that have been phased in since 2012 (the Foreign Agents Act), Ivanets says that anyone in Russia can be prosecuted. As for the upcoming elections, it is certain that Putin will win because anti-war candidates have been eliminated from the race. Regarding Putin's last interview, he believes that it did him no favors in front of the domestic public.

Old parliamentary majority – tectonic changes in some member states after the Union elections
Analysis with Andreja Stojkovski: the European elections and Macedonian bilateral relations with the neighbors
The European elections ended without a change in the parliamentary majority, but with an increase in the number of far-right MPs. The composition of the European Parliament may not undergo major changes, but changes are taking place in the domestic politics of member states with great political influence. What this will mean for the Union and its individual policies in the future, we analyze with Andreja Stojkovski from the Prespa Institute. The enlargement policy, the green agenda, as well as the Common Foreign and Security Policy are some of the topics we discussed. We also analyzed our strained relations with our neighbors and the expectations from the future Macedonian Government when it comes to bilateral agreements with the neighbors.

Kalach: It is unlikely that Netanyahu will be arrested
Legal analysis of the decision of the International Criminal Court and the proceedings in front of the Macedonian courts.
The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his defense minister and three Hamas leaders. What this means, who would arrest Netanyahu, and where he is safe from criminal prosecution, we talk to lawyer Yasmin Kalach. Kalach does not believe that the Israeli prime minister would travel to countries that are signatories to the Rome Statute to avoid being detained. Israel's argument that this decision equates both sides is untenable, the lawyer believes, and says that the court made such a decision because it is not selective. Meanwhile, Spain, Ireland and Norway have recognized the Palestinian state.
We also discussed the two legal processes currently underway in Macedonia: the detention of Supreme Judge Georgiev for taking a bribe, as well as the extradition of the double murder suspect Palco and the start of his trial. Watch the full analysis.
