Today, with the Functioning of Democratic Institutions area, we are completing the bilateral screening for the Fundamental Values cluster. This area is also represented for the first time by the new revised negotiation methodology.
The functioning of democratic institutions is crucial for any democratic society because it represents an essential value on which the EU is based and functions, as provided for by the Treaty of Lisbon.
For a long time, our country has been committed to reforms in the field of functioning of democratic institutions, rule of law and protection of human rights and freedoms.
Our delegation's presentations for this area are about:
The general democratic framework of the state
The electoral process, the role of the media in elections and the financing of political parties and election campaigns
The role and functioning of the Assembly of the Republic of North Macedonia
The role of civil society in building a democratic society
We are committed to strengthening the democratic functioning of the country by building strong institutions, as well as by promoting the principle of accountability, transparency and inclusiveness.
At today's bilateral screening, President Pendarovski also visited us, greeted and encouraged our delegation.
