Abstract

The paper aims to analyse the preconditions for constructing a comprehensive critical infrastructure protection system in North Macedonia. Also, in the Republic of North Macedonia, in the last five years, significant progress has been made in moving the national engagement and approach to implement the critical infrastructure protection concept. The Republic of North Macedonia, perhaps the last in the Western Balkans region, has an urgent need for normative regulation of all aspects of the critical infrastructure sphere. The dynamic processes on the international stage rightly give signals in the direction of the essential need for critical infrastructure protection. Changing geopolitical and security landscapes, war, natural disasters, hybrid threats, health crises, energy crises, climate change, and many other adverse processes allude to the conclusion that the disruption of critical infrastructure is increasingly not a matter of escalation but a matter of time.
