In the composition of the Parliament of the Republic of North Macedonia, there are three commissions that are responsible for different areas and are directly related to security: the most important one: The Commission for Defense and Security, as well as the Commission for Supervision over the work of the National Security Agency and the Intelligence Agency and lastly, Commission for supervision over the implementation of communications monitoring measures. The constitutional power possessed by the Parliament, as well as its role in the improvement of laws during the parliamentary procedure, is the main factor with which significant changes can be made, which would have a positive impact on the regulation of the area of security. Experts would make an additional positive contribution here, especially those who gained their experience outside the country and who would pass their positive experiences to us. We should not overlook the fact that the more developed countries have invested much more than us in the field of security, especially the EU member states that mutually exchange experiences and knowledge and when it comes to security act as one entity composed of a large number of experts. Looking at the current geopolitical movements, maintaining security in the future will be a challenge, especially for the weaker countries, which can be the target of various means that would violate their general security and thus the trust of the citizens towards the institutions. The often-emphasized meritocracy rather than partocracy as well as giving opportunity to distinguished experts and zero tolerance for mistakes and failures in the security sector would be key to success. It should be taken into consideration that positive results do not come in an instant, but security threats can come at any moment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
