The 2011 Macedonian protests against police brutality were demonstrations that started on 6 June 2011 as а result of the murder of the 21-year old Martin Neškoski, who was beaten to death by Igor Spasov, a member of the special police forces Tigri.
Written by Arthur Schnitzler in 1897 and first printed in 1900 for his friends. It scrutinizes the sexual morals and class ideology of its day through a series of encounters between pairs of characters. By choosing characters across all levels of society, the play offers social commentary on how sexual contact transgresses boundaries of class.
Organized to mark November 16, the International Day of Tolerance. In 2012 it was dedicated to the LGBT population in Macedonia, which has been subjected to a prolonged homophobic campaign that intensified over the last month, with the attack on the newly opened LGBTi Support Centre in Skopje and several homophobic statements by high-ranking Government officials.

The Crime: A young man was brutally beaten to death by a police officer on Skopje's main square. The Ministry of Interior tried to cover it up!
Our response: After having learned the truth via social media, we commenced with daily peaceful protests against police brutality.
Their Response: Due to the pressure, they admitted the murder. Yet, other than the perpetrator, no one up the chain of command has been held accountable; they have also started a ruthless media campaign against us.
Our struggle for justice and ending police brutality went on! We were on the streets until they took full responsibility.

The 2012 March also aimed to express its support for the women which are also targeted by a negative hate-speech campaign that aims to exclude and eliminate all diversity in the society and focused on the women whose priorities don’t fit the traditional role of women in society.
The Helsinki Committee and the Coalition for sexual and healthcare rights demanded from the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia to change the Criminal Code in the segment of sanctions for hate crimes and hate speech on grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity.
The promotion took place in Restaurant/Cafe Li on 23rd of March, 2013 in Skopje. The funs of Aleksandar Rusjakov had the opportunity to take a sneak peak in the stories about love, death and transformation and enjoy the actors' expression while reading the excerpts.

At the panel discussion, which took place on the 26th of February 2018 at the EU InfoCentre in Skopje, we brought together representatives from the NGO sector, FARE Network, UEFA, Football Federation of Macedonia, as well as Macedonian Government and Parliament representatives and others, including trainers and referees, to talk about the challenges and issues faced by LGBT+ people in football - at the stadiums, on the pitch, in the locker rooms. Additionally, we disseminated the FvH Toolkit in Macedonian language, aimed for use by football fans, clubs and authorities.
