THE CONCEPT OF SECURITY SECTOR REFORM IN THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA

Abstract

The security sector reforms are a broadly accepted concept which regards the physical and the technical transformation of the security institutions in the direction of improvement of the methods of work and function of the security sector. The fundamental concept is mainly based on the principle of civil control over the military and security forces, which basically means that it will make them more accountable and transparent in their work. The theoretical explication of this paper is primarily focused on designating the need for reforms of the security sector in our country, secondly, toward the better ways for an appropriate transformation of the security structures and third, what kind of challenges the process of security sector reform faces.
