Summary/Abstract: The Supreme Court of the Republic of Macedonia has a constitutional competence to ensure uniform application of laws by the courts and thus ensure the uniformity of court practice in the Republic of Macedonia. The recent Report on Macedonia: Assessment and recommendations of the Senior Experts’ Group on systemic Rule of Law issues 2017, led by Reinhard Priebe and issued by the European Commission on 14 September 2017 notes the need for achieving a greater uniformity of court practice, emphasizing the role of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Macedonia in that regard. However, the national laws do not always provide for the Supreme Court to exercise its constitutional competence to ensure the uniform application of the laws by the courts and ensure the existence of a uniform court practice. This paper aims at searching a way to strengthen the role of the Supreme Court in ensuring uniform application of laws by the courts. In this regard, a thorough analysis of the relevant national legislation will be conducted. Finally, this paper draws conclusions and recommendation as regards possible solutions to provide for better conditions for the Supreme Court to exercise its constitutional competence to ensure the uniform application of the laws by the courts and thus ensure the existence of a uniform court practice.
