Усклађивање државне спољне политике са спољном политиком Европске уније - пример Северне Македоније
Harmonization of state foreign policy with foreign policy of the European Union - the example of North Macedonia

Summary/Abstract: Foreign policy of small or so-called microstates is of special importance for the science of international relations, bearing in mind their role in contemporary world politics. Unlike in the past, small or “microstates” today have their place in regional institutions and organisations, as well as in numerous international, regional, and local initiatives dealing with political issues, economic development issues, economic sustainability, but also environmental issues, and environmental development. The present work is focused on examining the foreign policy activities of the Republic of North Macedonia in light of the latest crisis in Ukraine. In that sense, the paper analyses the extent to which the foreign policy of this country is harmonized with the foreign and security policy of the European Union (CFSP), bearing in mind the fact that North Macedonia is a candidate country for membership in this international organization. Through the prism of the realist theory of international relations, the author presented certain conclusions related to the inconsistency of the European Union regarding the process of European integration due to changed international and regional circumstances.
