Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the Macedonian European integration process viewed through the lenses of the existing internal institutional framework. Integrating the Republic of Macedonia into the European Union has been, and will remain, a priority of every political elite, regardless of their place on the political spectrum. At this moment, as accession negotiations have yet to be opened, the only reliable method through which measurement of approximation can be made is through the progress reports, submitted yearly by the European Commission to the Council of the European Union. Macedonia still awaits for a substantial reform of the position of state servants, which would hopefully improve the performance and raise the efficiency of public administration. Such endeavor would require not only the new, reliable legal framework, but also the existence of a true political will, aimed at confronting problems and finding solutions, regardless of the short-term political price to be paid.
