victory and how that election will affect global geopolitics. Jalyssa Dugrot, a journalist from Florida
reports about the atmosphere there. We analyze Trump's future steps on the world political stage with

Analysis of Macedonian diplomacy, Callings from Georgia and Ukraine on the situation with
the protests and the war.
The first guest in this edition of Labyrinth is the former Ambassador of Macedonia to Sweden and
Romania, Tihomir Ilievski. We talked about the oath taken by the new President and the reactions it
caused among our neighbors. Despite the reactions and difficulties in bilateral relations, the diplomat is
still optimistic about the European integration of Macedonia, as well as about the normalization of
relations in the entire Balkans.
In Georgia, massive civil protests are taking place over the law on "foreign agents" which moves the
country away from the European path, but also seriously threatens the livelihood and freedom of
Georgian citizens. From Tbilisi, we were joined by Ekaterine Basilaia - director of the Center for Media and Social Research of Georgia, who explained in more detail what this law is and why so many people
took to the streets. We discussed the use of excessive force by the police in arresting peaceful
protesters and the legal fight to protect those detained.
In Labyrinth, we also included the volunteer in the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Forces, Volodymyr
Sapekhin. Volodymyr has been going to the fronts and back for more than two years. We talked about
the current situation on the fronts, about the progress of Russian forces in the Kharkiv region, but also
about his personal feelings about the two realities he lives in.
