This paper analyses the state of the judiciary in the Republic of North Macedonia, with the aim of identifying the key weaknesses that affect its independence and the public's confidence in the judicial system. The research employs qualitative analysis of relevant legislation, institutional reports and international rule of law indices, as well as case studies. The findings indicate the presence of political influence, insufficient transparency, delayed proceedings and a perception of selective justice. Systemic reforms are needed to depoliticise the judiciary, increase oversight, and enable greater efficiency and digitalisation with accountability. This will strengthen public trust and the rule of law in the country.
