The Post-Communist Evolution and Constitutional-Legal Engineering of the Model of Democracy in North Macedonia (1990-2001)

Abstract

The first decade after the breakup of Yugoslavia, was crucial for the North Macedonia state and its citizens. The constitution of the new, independent state was not an easy process and it did not pass peacefully and with no problems. The complex social process and relations have initiated the need for amendments to the Constitution, which, since its adoption in 1991 until today, has been changed 32 times in order to adapt to the new emerging situation and to give a constitutional and legal response to the real challenges. Of course, proper changes also occurred in the political system itself, as a result of numerous factors, which more or less influenced its character and shape.
