An initiative to secure national identity guarantees for Macedonia from the European Parliament faces loud opposition from the Bulgarian representatives, who are even accusing a hapless Austrian Green MEP of corruption. Cvetin and Jason discuss whether this is something that could unlock the dispute and allow Macedonia to open the EU accession talks.
We also discuss the state of play in the Albanian parties, and the intervention from Mayor Danela in their affairs.
And Jason opens with a sad bit of news about an old friend of Macedonia.
