The sample was selected following a mapping of benchmarks that are common or similar among the six Western Balkan aspirants for EU membership. This regional analysis represents a first major attempt to critically evaluate the degree to which the objectives are achieved and the extent to which targeted problems are solved in order to further advance in the EU accession process. The structure of this paper is the following: first, it provides a contextual overview of the benchmarking in Macedonia as a case study followed by a brief explanation of the\u00a0 \u043cethodology. The empirical section that follows provides an analysis of the evolution of each of the selected benchmarks since their introduction joined by an assessment of the current state of play. Last, the study reflects on the findings and provides recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full report <a href=\"https:\/\/epi.org.mk\/docs\/Benchmarking%20in%20Macedonia(1).pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/epi.org.mk\/docs\/Benchmarking%20in%20Macedonia(1).pdf\" target=\"_self\" class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper vc_box_shadow_3d  vc_box_border_grey\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"599\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/epi.org.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/benchmarking-in-mkd.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"\" title=\"benchmarking in mkd\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epi.org.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/benchmarking-in-mkd.jpg 599w, https:\/\/epi.org.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/benchmarking-in-mkd-293x300.jpg 293w, https:\/\/epi.org.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/benchmarking-in-mkd-12x12.jpg 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This report, part of a regional project, studies the effectiveness of the EU\u2019s benchmarking system on selected policy issues within the Chapters 23 and 24 focusing on the case of Macedonia.
