North Macedonia has initiated several measures to strengthen its democratic and digital infrastructure. Deputy Prime Minister Bekim Sali has advocated for candidate countries to be included in the European Centre for Democratic Resilience, noting that threats such as cyberattacks, disinformation, and pressure on independent media are shared challenges for both EU members and candidates.

In tandem with these diplomatic efforts, the country is implementing domestic programs focused on digital literacy and technology. These include specialized studies on artificial intelligence and digitalization in education at the University of Tetova, as well as Media Education Days organized by the Agency for Audio and Audiovisual Media Services. These educational initiatives aim to foster critical thinking and combat disinformation through workshops and conferences across multiple cities.
