Summary/Abstract: As migration is a global trend, the Republic of Northern Macedonia (RNM) as well as other Western Balkan countries are also facing refugees and asylum. Usually, European Union (EU) law provides for standards on migration and asylum, while the RNM, as a country with candidate status for EU membership since 2005, aims to harmonize migration policies with those of the EU. This paper focuses on the legal changes made over the last five years, as a result of the migratory crisis caused by lifted refugees from the Middle East to the EU member states. The paper analyzes legal changes, if they are in line with EU directives in the field of migration, refugees and asylum. The paper draws conclusions and suggests further studies in this area.
