We truly hope that this textbook, as the previous one supported by us “Political Parties and Interest Groups” will enrich the knowledge not only of students at the Law Faculty Iustinianus Primus in Skopje, but also of academics from other higher educational institutions in the state. At the same time, we believe that this paper will be a challenge for all concerned with the issues elaborated in it, within their professional interests.
