The Ervopeum forum, which was organized by the Institute for European Politics, gave an overview of the current situation with the mechanisms for the rule of law in the EU and the mechanism for the growth of the union, within which the progress of many aspirants on the way to the EU was considered when it comes to governance of law.
Such events have for the overall promotion of the reforms that even more candidates can undertake before the membership, making the forces candidates for implementing reforms with the aim of Europeanizing the social-institutional environment in these countries.
The road to the Union is paved with the successfully implemented reform, but is Macedonia on the road to the EU?

Watch the new edition of Labyrinth and find out what's next in the battle for EU membership, where Macedonia is on the map and will the right path to integration emerge? Our guest in this issue is Beba Žagar from the Institute for European Politics.
The largest military alliance marked the 75th anniversary of its existence with a Summit whose focus is
the war on European soil. The leaders of the member states gathered in the American capital to confirm
the commitment to help Ukraine. Some of them used the margins of the Summit for meetings related to
bilateral issues. A meeting between the Macedonian and Greek Prime Ministers did not take place, and
journalists behind the scenes say that there was no interest on the part of the major powers to discuss
such issues within the framework of the Summit. From the press room in Washington, we include
Romanian military reporter and senior political correspondent Cristina Cileacu. In addition to the fact
that the Alliance confirmed the commitments to help Ukraine, Cileacu also informed us about the other
agreed strategic determinations, such as declaring China a country enabling Russian aggression. We
asked Chileaku tofollow up the meetings of the Macedonian Prime Minister.
From the French capital, on the other hand, we are talking with an advisor in the French Assembly on
topics related to the great upheaval that occurred during the elections. Councilor Matthias Vasquez
from the ranks of Macron's party talks about the mood of the voters and the actions of the parties that
led to this turn. At the moment, the main challenge facing France is the election of a prime minister,
which the winning coalition seems to be having difficulty electing. Vasquez is a good expert on the
Macedonian and Balkan situations, given the fact that he was previously on missions in these countries,
so we used this call to ask him for his opinion on the French proposal that was imposed after the
Bulgarian veto announcements.
Analysis with General Arsoski about Macedonian relations with neighbors and global
military players
The guest in this edition of Labyrinth is Major General Pavle Arsoski, who in the last elections was also
elected as a deputy in the Macedonian Assembly from the ranks of the new political party ZNAM. We
discussed the future steps of the Macedonian Government regarding the respect of international
agreements, as well as the relations between the coalition partners. The General says that everything is
already clear regarding the observance of international agreements, namely that the agreements will be
respected where they should, and the Government will make great efforts to improve good neighborly
relations.
With General Arsoski, we also discussed the regional open issues, as well as the active military hotspots
and the possibility of ending them. General Arsoski reiterated the position that the attacked side has the
right to defend itself, and he sees the end of the two active wars in the very near future. For the new
Secretary General of NATO, Rutte believes that he is an excellent choice for the Alliance.
