After our summer haitus, Cvetin and Jason come back - and not a moment too soon: the Albanians are becoming unruly and Parliament will begin discussing the constitutional amendments requested by Bulgaria this week.
First things first: Even SDSM supporters were shocked by the aggressive displays of Albanian nationalism during the visit by Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti - all together with maps of Greater Albania.
The outrage is partly feigned - we are approaching elections and the Government has ignored worse from its approved Albanian partners (handlers?) But still, it's an interesting moment when the frog turns around and asks "it's gotten pretty hot 'round here, hasn't it?" Meanwhile, US ambasssador increases her presure on VMRO over the amendments, and Zaev, who may be offering a different type of a deal, is warned not to get too ahead of himself, as the noose around his top lieutenants draws closer.
