This paper examines the process of formulating the Reform Agenda in North Macedonia and provides an overview of the inherent challenges. It aims to enhance understanding of the national context within the broader framework of EU integration throughout the Reform Agenda (RA) as part of the wider European Union’s Growth Plan for the Western Balkans (GPWB) for 2024–2027. This paper examines relevant documents, including North Macedonia’s RA and its accompanying annexes, alongside insights gathered from interviews with individuals directly involved in the formulation of the RA and the associated consultation processes.
