The political crisis in Macedonia deepens and it is far from finding a proper and long-lasting solution. The opposition and position parties after the December 11 elections accuse each other for corruption and treason, which prevents the formation of the government and its focusing towards Euro-Atlantic processes and democratic principles. In addition, in this paper we are going to emphasize the role of the political elites and their political ethics, taking in consideration their responsibility for the long lasting transition of the country and their failure to fulfill the recommendations of the European Commission for opening accession negotiations. For better explanation of the abovementioned and for creating a clearer picture regarding the development in Macedonia, we are going to analyze the role of the international community in facilitating negotiations for ending the political crisis that threatens the democracy and the stability of the country and the region, taking into consideration the effects of the crisis on the countryВ’s economy and worsening of the interethnic relations. For reaching the desired results within this paper, we are going to analyze the Przino agreement and its implementation by the signatory political parties, the follow up on this agreement and the currents political situation, which involves the president of the country and the Albanian political factor in Macedonia. In the end of this paper, we will give our recommendations for possible solutions of the crisis for ending the instability in the country and will providing more opportunities and prosperity for its citizens.
