The effects of the European integration on the constitutional system of the Republic of North Macedonia and the role of the Constitutional Court

National constitutions play an important role in the process of accession to the European
Union. This follows as a logic consequence of the fact that constitutions of the country aspiring
the integration determinate the status of international treaties in the rights of this country,
the procedure of accession to international organizations. Regarding relations with European
Union, particular importance have the provisions that ensure implementation of the principles
of the European Union Law. However, it should be noted that in terms of normative choices
in the process of accession to the European Union, there is no unified model for constitutional
changes, so the European institutions, in their assessment have access in the current state.
Constitutional changes of the Republic of North Macedonia in process of accession in European
Organization are inevitable. They should be understood as a comprehensive process that will
involve all the relevant actors in order to adopt the pertinent amendments with high political
legitimacy. In its way towards European integration, the Republic of North Macedonia already
made first changes in its constitution affected by the Prespa agreement which led to the change
of the country’s name, consequently lifting of the Greek veto.
