description The article focuses on identifying factors that influenced the foreign policy of the Macedonian state. In the first years after the collapse of the socialistic Yugoslavia, most of the emerging countries, including Macedonia, defined their development direction towards NATO and the EU, since the war in the Balkans required each republic to enter as soon as possible under the wing of a large international organization. On the way to the entry of North Macedonia into the EU and NATO, obstacles arose in the form of controversial issues in relations with neighbors. Thus, the foreign policy of the Macedonian state was designed to resolve conflicts with its neighbors, given the regional context. The settlement of local Balkan problems after 1999 contributed to some stabilization of the situation in the region.
