In an address late on Sunday evening, Zoran Zaev said he is resigning from his position as North Macedonia's Prime Minister and as leader of the Social Democrats, after the party's defeat in the capital of Skopje and other important towns to the opposition right-wing VMRO DPMNE party during the election runoffs this weekend.

Gervalla-Schwarz was born in North Macedonia capital, Skopje, in 1971, when it was still part of socialist Yugoslavia. She spent her early childhood living between Skopje and Pristina, where her father, Jusuf Gervalla, was a well-known writer, singer and artist.

The trial of Golden Dawn continued on Friday with the testimonies of two former MPs of the neo-Nazi party, both of whom claimed to have been unaware that GD championed Nazi ideals.

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday took back control of the ruling party he founded, a step that gives the nation’s most powerful man additional authority to appoint loyalists to parliament lists and party posts across the nation.

The head of the ethnic Albanian Besa party in Macedonia, Bilall Kasami, on Wednesday said his party's participation in a new Social Democrat-led government will depend on whether other participants propose ministers who are entangled in corruption scandals.

The Serbian Democratic Party, the main opposition party in Republika Srpska, has lost control of the key bastion of Bijeljina following a controversial session of the town council.

It is the fate of all revolutions to devour their own children as they clear obstacles from the path. If you consider the Justice and Development Party's (AK Parti) time in power to be a "democratic revolution through votes," (or the "AK revolution" as the official party line goes), you may conclude that history has started to repeat itself within the AK Parti.

Partial results from Sunday's referendum in Greece indicate voters have rejected the terms of a bailout-for-reforms deal proposed by the country's international creditors.

With over 30% of the votes counted, rejection of the bailout terms by a 'No' vote stood at 60%, while 40% had voted 'Yes' to accept the agreement put forward by creditors on 25 June.

Turkey’s main opposition will discuss ways to end over a decade of conservative rule in the country at an extraordinary congress to be held today and tomorrow, while also proposing the adoption of European norms of self-government in an effort to solve the Kurdish issue.
