The European Commission decided in the last minute to remove some of the positive remarks about Macedonia that should have been written in the report on the country’s progress. The judiciary, the public administration and media are some of the areas in which Brussels, in the last version of the report, gave us more negative formulations than in the preliminary report that Dnevnik found from sources in the European Commission.

The working version of the Brussels report, according to Dnevnik’s sources, was written a few weeks before the release of the official document. If comparing the two versions, it can be noted that some of the positive assessments have been removed as others are reformulated.
