This past summer, the debate over the impact of the global financial crisis heated up.

Headlines last July read, "Macedonia faces bankruptcy". The media buzz was sparked when then Finance Minister Trajko Slaveski said the country was on the brink of liquidating its assets. He called for parliament to rebalance the budget and cut expenses by approximately 100m euros.

The country was however hit in the gut by the global financial crisis, and newly-designated Finance Minister Zoran Stavrevski, who is also the deputy prime minister, announced the country had dipped into a recession.

An everyday citizen might be able to sum up the situation. "I am unemployed, so I am unaffected by the world economic crisis. I am in a permanent crisis."

Currently, the unemployment rate in Macedonia is 33.8%.

Wow! Filip keeps saying they are doing well...
