In general, a comprehensive and well-designed local self-government will significantly improve community management in the Republic of Macedonia. The increased competences and strengthening of the political culture of the population will result in a more active participation of citizens in local processes. An increase in the professional level of the executive and administrative bodies along with improved communication with a civil society will have a positive impact on the quality of municipal management. Decentralized approaches to local development can be a sustainable way to preserve multiculturalism in an ethnically and culturally diverse country. The outcome of the process will depend on the level of public engagement, accountability of local leaders, and transparency of procedures.

The Right

The right to family life is a fundamental human right, recognized by a series of international and European acts, which not only define and ensure its protection, but also emphasize the social importance of the family unit and the institution of marriage. The right to family life has evolved rapidly, since it was first introduced as an international human right by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The family structure and the concept of family life have changed dramatically over the last few decades, influenced by the everchanging social reality of our time and the decline of the institution of marriage. Aside from the traditional European nuclear family composed of two married persons of opposite sex and their marital children, new forms of family structures have arisen. LGTB families are at the centre of the ongoing debate on re-defining marriage and the concept of family life. The aim of this paper is to analyse the degree of protection accorded to family life and to the right to marry, which has long been recognized as one of the vital personal rights essential to the pursuit of happiness by free men by both, international acts ratified by the Republic of Macedonia and the legal system of the country. The methodology applied is qualitative research and use of the analytical, historical and comparative methods. The paper concludes that in general Republic of Macedonia has a solid legal framework, in compliance with the international law, that protects and promotes the right to family life.

Every European country now has some distinctive heraldic conventions and traditions embodied in the designs and artistic representations of the emblems forming part of its national corpus. This paper deals with these matters in the period from independence in 1991 to the recent change of name in 2019. It deals with the successive designs proposed for the emblem of the state itself, some of which conformed to international heraldic conventions closely enough to be called “arms” or “coats of arms”, not including the emblem adopted in 2009. Special attention is given to the distinctive conventions created for municipal heraldry, including its novel legal framework, as well as those governing personal heraldry developed in the twenty-first century. The paper examines the evolution of heraldic thought and practice in Macedonia in the three decades in question, especially in the context of the Macedonian Heraldic Society and its journal, The Macedonian Herald, and its Register of Arms and the Civic Heraldic System it created.

This paper is about the local utility services in the decentralization process in the Republic of Macedonia. Particular emphasis is placed on the legal framework for financing municipal utility services through the decentralization process. Since the utility service tariffs are relatively low, the Macedonian utility companies want to increase their tariffs up to cost recovery levels to achieve higher standards required by the EU Directives. The paper also deals with financial relations between the central and local authorities versus the utility company management and the current state of providing utility services in light of financial issues. It has been found out that there is a huge potential to improve user charges. However, due to the current economic situation and the unwillingness of customers to pay higher fees, this solution cannot be applied for the time being.

AbstractThis paper explores the level of independence of the National bank of the Republic of Macedonia by primarily focusing on the legal provisions that pertain to the key aspects for achieving and maintaining price stability. It provides a historical perspective of the evolution of the independence since the first years of transition. The assessment of the independence of the NBRM is based on the index of Cukierman, Webb, and Neyapti (1992), as one of the most commonly used indices, and the index of Jacome and Vazquez (2005), which incorporates some specific aspects relevant for transition economies. Both indices indicate that the legal independence of the NBRM has increased over the years and that the current legal framework provides a high level of independence. Yet, it should be emphasized that there is a room for further strengthening, in particular in the areas of policy formulation and the process of appointment of the non-executive members of the council of the NBRM. As the indices are based on the legal provisions, they can serve only as an indication of the actual independence of the central bank.

Materiovigilance is a system applied for the purpose of detecting, gathering, monitoring, assessing and responding to new data on safety of medicinal products and related to the use of medical device related to possible incidents during use. The aim of this paper was to show the characteristics of the system of materiovigilance in the Republic of Macedonia compared to four other jurisdictions (US, EU, Japan and China), the recognition of the advantages and disadvantages of the systems and their impact on public health. Material and methods: For the realization of the aim of the study, we conducted an analysis of data published on the web pages of regulatory authorities related to the existing legal framework and review of the literature available on the network for scientists and researchers ResearchGate. General dialectical method as well as legal methods (dogmatic and normative method) were used in this study in order to determine the content, the meaning and the importance of the legal norms which regulate the system of materiovigilance. Results: The five systems of materiovigilance have several features that include monitoring of adverse events caused by medical device that have been granted a marketing authorization. Globally, these systems provide different, shared responsibility of all stakeholders. Thus, the scope of responsibilities of producers is significantly higher in Japan and China, opposed to the EU and Macedonia, where the responsibility is passed on to distributors, health professionals and other for-profit entities. United States is in the middle between these two extreme systems of materiovigilance, where the FDA has the responsibility to protect the public health forecasting responsibilities to the industry. Conclusion: There are significant variations in the regulation system of materiovigilance in the Republic of Macedonia and the analyzed legal systems. To date, there is no empirical evidence that one system is better than another, but it is indisputable that each system has its advantages and disadvantages regarding the protection of public health. Within the analyzed systems of materiovigilance three best practices can be seen that contribute to the improvement of public health: transparency, repeating the examination of medical device and central versus local control.

Very little is said and written about the problem of emotional abuse of children, as a result of parental divorce and separation, probably because it is a very sophisticated type of emotional abuse, which unfortunately sometimes experts do not recognize. This phenomenon is rarely explored and researched in general and especially in the Republic of Macedonia. It is not disputed that there is a solid legal framework for a government response to this type of child abuse in Republic of Macedonia. Given the impact on children, this problem requires much more attention, education and cooperation between the competent institutions. This paper tries to explore the concept of emotional abuse of children, as a result of divorce and separation of the parents, as a very specific form of domestic violence from a psychological point of view, as well as to analyze the legal norm of this form of domestic violence in the Republic of Macedonia.

Made In

In the last fifteen years, the Republic of Macedonia conducts thorough reforms in the system of justice for children. Since 2003, intensive efforts have been made in the process of establishment of a legal and institutional framework for protection of children at risk and children in conflict with the law. In this regards, the legislative changes were made in accordance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international standards and principles. The new system is based on three elements (criminal law, civil law, and system of services and protection). The goal is not only to introduce certain principles for the development of justice for children, but to perform constant holistic re-evaluation of the programs for children at risk and children perpetrators of criminal acts.The focus is put on strengthening the relevant institutions as independent administrative units with a multidisciplinary approach in encountering with the complex problem of juvenile delinquency. In that term, precise procedures are instituted, with clearly divided roles of the actors, demanding specialization of the professionals involved in child treatment. Yet, the implementation of the legal framework faces certain obstacles as a result of lack of political will, structural and systematic reasons. The basic goals and principles such as restorative justice, mediation, alternative measures and procedural rights are still non-achieved. The execution of sanctions remains to be most serious problems within the system of child justice. In this context, there are poor infrastructural capacities, insufficient human resources as well as absence of employed effective methods and techniques in the treatment of children.
