Today, the Federation of Trade Unions of Macedonia was visited by a group of students from the Institute of Political Sciences at the University of Vienna, led by their Professor, Roman Pferle.
Their study visit to Macedonia was a part of their program of study "Visiting a certain country and getting acquainted with the political situation in the respective country", and this meeting was agreed together with the Federation of Trade Unions of Austria (OGB).
Despite being interested in the political system in Macedonia since independence until now, the EU access and parliamentary elections, for which the students had the opportunity to discuss with politicians, academics and journalists, they were interested to learn more about the role of the trade unions in Macedonia, their cooperation (or not) with the Government and the social partners.
