Sažetak
The article deals with the concept of regional security on the example
of North Macedonia, with special reference on the relation between
the Albanian national minority and the Macedonian majority. In that
sense, there is a brief overview of their relations since the dissolution of
Yugoslavia. The background of the 2001 conflict between the Albanian
Paramilitary National Liberation Army and the Macedonian police,
which was completed in the same year by a historic Ohrid agreement,
will be briefly explained. The adoption of the agreement, which
promoted the rights of minority ethnic communities in Macedonia, was
considered by the rare political success of the international community
in Southeast Europe. However, opinions whether it contributed to the
building of a multiethnic state were divided. In this regard, the article
deals with the implementation of the Ohrid Agreement, and the analysis
of isolated political developments in Macedonia since 2001 seeks to
point out that, despite significant progress, the Ohrid Agreement has
not been fully implemented because interethnic tensions and the risk
of instability are still remain. Finally, the article suggests that there is
continuity of isolated cases in Macedonia that still generates security
implications for regional security.
