North Macedonia judicial and electoral reform efforts

Overview

Justice Minister Jeton Chashivari has initiated efforts to reform North Macedonia’s electoral legislation, calling for the participation of the SDSM opposition party. Chashivari noted that the opposition’s absence from the working group has acted as a “handicap” to the four-month reform process. He expressed a desire to meet with SDSM leader Venko Filipce to ensure the new legislative framework aligns with European standards and OSCE/ODIHR recommendations.

In a separate context regarding judicial reform, Minister Shasivari emphasized the importance of an independent judiciary and accountable institutions as foundations for a rule-of-law state. He stated that the success of these reforms should be measured by tangible improvements for citizens, such as more efficient procedures, rather than just the passage of new laws.
