History
The first constitution of the country was adopted in November 1991, declaring it a parliamentary democracy. According to the constitution, the Assembly represents the citizens and has legislative power. The Assembly is the successor of the Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Macedonia, which was part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.[1]
Оn 27 Аpril 2017, protestors stormed the Assembly in an attempt to prevent the election of a new president, the ethnic Albanian Talat Xhaferi, from the Democratic Union for Integration. Due to the inaction of the police, several MPs were injured.[2] In 2018, the MPs passed the Amnesty Law, which granted amnesty to some participants involved in the storming, who were not involved in violence or the organization of the storming.[3] Among those amnestied were MPs from the opposition who later voted in favor for changing the name of the country.[2]
During the COVID-19 pandemic in North Macedonia, In March 2020, an internal protocol for protection against COVID-19 was adopted, based on the recommendations of the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization. It established a procedure for movement of employees and MPs, a schedule of disinfection of the premises, and placement of automated hand sanitizers. The president of the Assembly proposed the realization of the sessions online in December 2020, but this was not supported by the opposition. As a result, the Assembly had to continue its work in person, while also experiencing a block in its work for months due to the absence of a quorum.[1]
