Citizens of Macedonia go to the polls this coming Sunday, June 1, to vote for a new parliament.  The snap elections come on the heels of Macedonia’s inability to secure an invitation to join NATO at April’s Bucharest summit following objections by Greece regarding the country’s constitutional name. The conduct of the elections—the extent to which they are judged as democratic—will have much to say about Macedonia’s continued prospects for Euroatlantic integration. NDI’s Skopje-based staff preview this weekend’s vote, which is to determine who will govern the country for the next four years.
