Abstract

The Republic of North Macedonia functions as a parliamentary democracy based on the principles of separation and independence of powers. The legislative branch is exercised by the Parliament, the executive power is exercised by the Government and the President, (although the President’s role is mostly symbolic/ceremonial and judicial branch exercised by the Courts. The structure and responsibilities of the Parliament are defined by the Constitution and specific laws. As the holder of legislative authority, the Parliament plays a crucial role in shaping the country’s legal and constitutional framework. Its primary functions include: legislation (the adoption and amendment of the Constitution and laws); representation (where members of Parliament represent the interests and concerns of the electorate); political control (monitoring and supervising the executive through various parliamentary mechanisms), elective authority (electing the Government, the Ombudsman, the Public Prosecutor, and other public officials as provided by law). This paper outlines the key functions of the Parliament and its importance within North Macedonia’s political system. Furthermore, it offers recommendations aimed to improve the Parliament’s effectiveness as a forum where public interests are discussed, debated and decided. For this study, descriptive and comparative research methods have been used, along with an analysis of the Constitution, relevant legal provisions and academic and scientific literature.
