Start is a weekly paper from Skopje. Their on-line edition carries full reprints of most articles from the paper edition. The site also offers the archive of the 12 most recent issues. All content is in Macedonian. The weekly is very critical of the current government. It follows a very aggressive editorial policy, reminiscent of Feral Tribune in Croatia, and Dani and Slobodna Bosna in Bosnia-Hercegovina. Indeed, just like these publications, Start has recently earned a dubious honor of prompting the writing of yet another restrictive information law in the former Yugoslavia.
