The year 2022 is the last year of implementation of the 2017-2022 Strategy for Reform of the Judicial Sector (hereinafter referred to as the Strategy). While some of the planned measures and activities have already been implemented, especially those envisaging amendments to applicable or adoption of new laws, some of the processes of drafting and adopting certain pieces of legislation have still not been completed, or even more, there can be challenges noticed in the application of already adopted new pieces of legislation. 

Similarly to past years, with the aim of ensuring independent and objective monitoring of these processes, under the project For justice – civil contribution to the advancement of the judiciary, funded by the Foundation Open Society- Macedonia, this year too the Blueprint Group for Judicial Reform has monitored and evaluated the implementation of the Strategy. The monitoring findings are published in the format of monitoring briefs, while the evaluations of the Strategy implementation in the past years were presented under annual shadow reports on the Strategy implementation. Considering the fact that the year 2022 is the last year of the Strategy implementation, the evaluation findings of this and of past years will be jointly and thoroughly analyzed under a comprehensive assessment of the Strategy implementation.
