MACEDONIAN CONSTITUTIONAL STORY

Abstract

The Constitution, in a contemporary meaning, is a “living organism” which is a product
of the society and for the society. As the society and conditions within it change, the
Constitution also needs to adapt and keep up with the development if that constitution
aims to be progressive. In times of globalization, and in times of increasing will and need
of the countries to join the EU and in other international organisations, national
constitutions are going through a trend of more and more dynamic constitutional reforms.
The pressure for constitutional changes most often comes from the need for
Internatonalisaton and Europeanisation when it comes to the country's obligations, the
international and the supra-national economy and politics, the migrations, the enhanced
protection of the human rights etc. This paper is dealing not only with the historical
aspects of the constitutional development of the country but also with the constitutional
challenges that are seeing as a key issue in the Macedonian state.
