Jeton Shasivari marks European Justice Day in North Macedonia

North Macedonian Minister of Justice Jeton Shasivari issued a statement on European Justice Day, emphasizing that an independent judiciary, professional prosecutors, and accountable institutions are the essential foundations of a rule-of-law state.

Shasivari stated that judicial independence is vital for legal certainty, equality, and public trust. He expressed a commitment to building a system where the law prevails over all interests and where every citizen receives equal protection.

He noted that the success of judicial reforms should not be measured solely by the number of laws passed, but by the tangible changes experienced by citizens, such as more efficient procedures and higher-quality decisions. Shasivari concluded that aligning with European standards and ensuring consistent reform implementation are necessary obligations for the country's European future.
