Die Volkszählung in Nordmazedonien - Instrument für Statistik oder ethnische Fragen?

Im September 2021 fand in der Republik Nordmazedonien fast zwei Jahrzehnte nach dem letzten (2002) ein neuer Zensus statt, dessen Ergebnisse nun veröffentlicht wurden. Nach diesen leben 2.097.310 mazedonische Bürgerinnen und Bürger im In- und Ausland, die tatsächliche Wohnbevölkerung im Land beträgt 1.836.713 Personen. Da das Ergebnis politisch eher aus der Perspektive von Bevölkerungsanteilen und damit einhergehenden Minderheitenrechten betrachtet wird, waren heftige politische Reaktionen nach der Veröffentlichung zu erwarten.

Der Russische Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine – Reaktionen auf dem Westbalkan

Der russische Angriff auf die Ukraine am 24. Februar 2022 hat in Europa, dem breiteren Westen aber auch weltweit für starke Reaktionen gesorgt – gerade letzteres zeigte sich in einer Resolution der Vollversammlung der Vereinten Nationen vom 2. März, als diese das russische Vorgehen mit einer überwältigenden Mehrheit von 141 gegen 5 bei 35 Enthaltungen verurteilte. Alle Länder des Westbalkan stimmten in New York für die Resolution – jedoch unterhält die Region komplizierte historische, politische, wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Beziehun-gen zu Russland, aber auch zur Ukraine. Wie also haben die Menschen und politischen Institutionen der Region das Handeln Russlands aufgefasst? Welche Narrative herrschen vor? Und was ist für die Zukunft zu erwarten? Die Auslandsmitarbeiter der Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung in Belgrad, Sarajevo, Tirana, Skopje und Zagreb berichten.
