Special Prosecution and its Impact on the European Integration Processes of the Republic of North Macedonia

Session

Political Science

Description

Since the independence of the Republic of Macedonia, one of the most problematic issues, both at home and abroad, has been and remains the judiciary. This paper is concerned with the case of Special Prosecution and its Impact on the European Integration Processes of the Republic of North Macedonia. The Prosecution was established in 2015 to investigate the top level corruption in the former government. We argue that the workings of the Prosecution have had relevant reflections on the internal political competition, citizens’ trust towards the institutions, and the country’s European trajectory.
