In the period 23 October to 28 October 2010, the Center for Research and Policy Making (CRPM) conducted a national telephone survey as part of the research project “Mapping the leaders in Macedonia and Albania: elite potential for promoting positive social change”, supported by the Regional Research Promotion Programme for the Western Balkans.

The survey was carried on a stratified representative sample of 1094 respondents nationwide and included 24 questions relevant to the research. The results will be used primarily to compare the popular opinion to the attitudes of the elite regarding important social issues.

The questions were set in the form of affirmative or negative claim. The respondents were asked to express the level of accordance with the proposed claims, with possible answers on a five point rating scale: strongly disagree, disagree, neutral / no opinion, agree, strongly agree.

The questions were grouped in six themes: a) interethnic relations / nationalism /multiculturalism; b) individual freedoms and liberties; c) gender issues; d) social welfare; e) perception of the elites in the past and in the present; and f) perception of the communist past.
