Summary/Abstract: In conditions where the realization of works of public interest under equal conditions in material and immaterial sense (public powers) as functions of the state are entrusted to special legal entities, we face the existence of legal entities with public powers. As independent bodies, their establishment as well as their public powers are regulated by law, and given that such powers give them authority over government, the rules concerning government bodies also apply to them. In order to avoid possible abuses and violations of the law, it is necessary for the exercise of public power to be fully regulated by law, and the performance of functions to take place in a responsible and transparent manner. Having in mind that they are established by the Government, it has the right to supervise the legality of the work of the entity to which those public powers are entrusted. In the Republic of North Macedonia, there are currently eight legal entities with public power, established and regulated under special laws, and with the status of a legal entity, they operate at the national level. Of these eight, four are funds, two are councils, one is established as an agency and one as an institute. In order to ensure the constitutionality and legality of the general acts of state bodies, institutions and other legal entities, it is performed through additional supervision as a type of legal supervision. If such a case occurs, and if the supervisory body finds material or formal illegality of the act, it will initiate the procedure for compliance with the law.
