Abstract

Reforms in the justice and political system should be simultaneously
implemented, because they are inextricably linked. Challenges that arise in conditions of
increased security risks and threats from the most sophisticated unconventional types of
high political and economic corruption and with them the closely related institutional type
of organized crime impose the need for more profound systemic reforms in the structures
of the crucial social systems, especially the criminal-justice and the political system. Nonstandard situations, to a smaller or larger extent, that last for the entire past period of
independence of the Republic of Macedonia, cannot be solved by standard measures and
solutions, which otherwise give excellent results in countries with a long-standing
democratic tradition and high level of political culture.
In the paper, among the other methods, the following methods will be used: the
method of analyzing the contents of strategies, laws and draft laws; the logical method of
rational confrontation of arguments based on logical principles among opposing theses, in
the context of rationalist epistemology; the empirical method based on indisputable
empirical facts from various sources; the comparative method, which does not only imply
comparing normative-institutional solutions among different countries, but comparing the
different concepts of a reform strategy in both respectable systems; interviews with people
from target groups, such as professionals in the state institutions, university professors,
businessmen and lawyers; observation.
For Macedonia, the most optimal, generally conceptual framework is a
systemically crossed series of optimally independent key state institutions from the
executive and legislative power, but not absolutely independent from a wider range of
institutional mechanisms constituted in a qualitatively new way by competent
representatives of professional streams and the civil sector. With the purpose of effectively
and efficiently functioning of the criminal-justice and political system, it is necessary to
establish a system that will function with the least possible damage, by the force of the
internal logic of the system itself, regardless of the fact whether or not the much deficient
political will was present.
