This paper explores the current economic and political situation in the Republic of Macedonia in the aftermath of the most acute period of the international economic crisis, and reviews the prospects for government stability and the possibility of an agreement with Greece over the "name issue" in the coming months. Adapted from the source document.

An exploration of why the Balkan states have remained relatively financially stable in spite of the international financial crisis argues that organized crime has prevented many banks from suffering from debilitating shortages of cash & credit. Much of the income of countries like Bulgaria, Albania, & Montenegro is from such well institutionalized gray & black economies as cigarette smuggling. Attention is also given to the use of crime-generated cash to fund contraband operations in the trafficking of people & illegal hard drugs like heroin. Adapted from the source document.
