On 22 May 2014 at the ‘Queens’ Hotel located in Zebra Centre – Skopje, starting at 11.00 a presentation of a public opinion research will be held, on the topic of “Perceptions on the situation with the conflict of interests and assessment of Macedonia’s progress in EU accession”. The presentation will be followed by a public debate titled: ‘Macedonia on the road towards European Union, current perceptions of citizens’, with distinguished domestic experts in EU integrations as a participants. 
The public opinion research was applied through field questionnaire on a representative national sample of 1 600 respondents. Even thought the main focus was on the conflict of interests at the local level, still important aspects of Macedonian progress towards EU were tackled. Some of the questions related with citizen’s perceptions on the progress of Macedonia in EU integrations are the following:
– Is Macedonia ready for EU membership?
– What is the extent of progress of Macedonia’s EU integrations? What are the areas that require most of attention? 
– What is the main reason why Macedonia is not yet EU member country? 
– What is the citizen’s support for EU integration of Macedonia?
The event is part of the project ‘CSOs Watchdog Network to Prevent Spoils and Conflict of Interest in the Public Administration’ aiming to straighten the role and contribution of the civil society in achieving the standards of good governance and the process of EU integration. More specifically, the project initiates inclusion of citizen’s organizations and the wider citizen’s society in the process of public administration reform, as one of the key areas for reforming in the EU accession process.
The project “CSOs Watchdog Network to Prevent Spoils and Conflict of Interest in the Public Administration” is financially supported by the European Commission through IPA Civil Society Facility, and its being implemented by the Institute for Democracy “Societas Civilis” Skopje (IDSCS), Ohrid Institute for Economic Strategies and International Affairs (OI) and Macedonian Institute for Media (MIM).
