Republic of Macedonia is part of the global security concepts and in that direction advocates the implementation of a model of crisis management that will be compatible with European standards in this area. The key objectives are aimed at prevention policies and reduction of risks and ensuring conditions for a peaceful and secure prosperity of its citizens. Continuously normative, organizational and institutional measures and actions are taken in order to build a modern and responsive system that will provide a high level of security for its citizens and protect the remaining material and other values in the country.
