Biljana Volceska, 2016-17 Humphrey International Fellow at the University of Minnesota Humphrey School of Public Affairs (Macedonia), spoke recently to the International Conference e-Society.MK.
"Representatives from public institutions, media, and NGOs at this conference were discussing the legal and institutional framework for protecting privacy and freedom of expression in our country and the challenges we are facing after the wiretapping scandal we had in 2015. Some of the main issues were media reforms, reform of the intelligence services and effective mechanisms to control their work. The organization who organized the event is one of the leading in Macedonia with projects for improving privacy, transparency, freedom on the internet, civic engagement etc. http://metamorphosis.org.mk/en/projects/."
