THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK CONCERNING THE OWNERSHIP IN REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA

Abstract

The bases for the right of ownership, as generic term for all
types of ownership, are found in article 30, paragraph 1 of the
Constitution of Republic of Macedonia (Official Gazette of Republic of
Macedonia, number 52/91): “Right of ownership and heritage are
guaranteed”.
In the legislation of Republic of Macedonia, the article 30
paragraph 1 of the Constitution of Republic of Macedonia is the basis for
the implementation of the legal framework concerning the ownership in
the legal system of Republic of Macedonia. The implementation of the
legal frame concerning the ownership is realized on two levels. The first
level of implementation of the legal framework concerning ownership is
the general Law of Ownership and Other Real Rights passed by the
Parliament of Republic of Macedonia on February, 20, 2001 (Official
Gazette, number 18/01) – the law had a prolonged vacatio legis and it
became into force 6 months after it was officially announced in the
Official Gazette. The second level of implementation of the legal
framework concerning ownership in Republic of Macedonia is realized
by special law where particular aspects of the ownership right have been
regulated.
