Approximating Macedonian Legislation to the EU’s Acquis

Abstract

The Republic of Macedonia has to a large extent adapted its legislation to EU requirements. In the framework of the High Level Accession Dialogue, the country continues further activities in that regard in order to meet the political and economic criteria of EU accession. Apart from respecting the Copenhagen criteria, Macedonia’s goodneighbourly relations with all the EU Member States have proved an important factor, hence the necessary strengthening of its regional cooperationand bilateral relations with Greece and Bulgaria.
