The successful reforms of the judiciary and public administration are still one of the key criteria for the Macedonian full integration in the European Union. The EU annual reports in the last decade still put the accent on the development stages of these reforms that are of extreme importance for the overall democratic development and improving the rule of law in the country. The goal of the research in the paper is the analysis of the performances or the effectiveness of the work of the Administrative Court in the country during the last decade (2008-2017). From the effectiveness in resolving administrative cases based on administrative disputes in the country depends the overall public confidence in administrative judiciary and is a key indicator for the degree of improvement of the rule of law i.e. the overall administrative development. Besides many constraints of legal and professional nature, the results during the years are somewhat mixed but promising. The conclusions are that the administrative judiciary in the country needs further improvement in terms of professionalism and additional sources of support from the official authorities.
