Abstract

This is a work of combined research based on the content analysis method, comparative analysis, and the online survey method, aimed at investigating the changes of the constitutional identity of the Repub- lic of North Macedonia during its integration path, filled with many obstacles, challenges, and constraints Moreover, this paper aims to reveal the EU’s hypocritical attitude towards the integration process of North Macedonia concerning the “sacrifices” that North Macedo- nia made regarding its major constitutional changes with the Ohrid Framework Agreement and the change of its national name with the Prespa Agreement Moreover, the EU’s hypocrisy and incapability is more obvious with the Bulgarian blockade for opening negotiation talks with North Macedonia, which came as a “cold shower” for the allies and proponents of Macedonian full integration with the EU structures Therefore, in what follows I shall present the main and major changes of the Constitution of the Republic of North Macedonia since its independence – 30 years ago – until today, to describe the “sacrifices” that North Macedonia has made towards joining the EU.
