Among the achieved results arising from the established criteria for EU membership, they should specifically notice: the development of democracy and respect for human rights; Protection of minority rights (implementation of the Ohrid Framework Agreement); Strengthening the broad consensus of the citizens and all political parties for Euro-Atlantic integrations; Significant achievements in part of the segments necessary for the establishment of a functioning market economy (c. market economy), which testify the indicators of the progress of the transition in Macedonia (c. transition of the Macedonian economy), etc. The recognition for the progress achieved in the reforms arrived in December 2005., when RM stack-wealth of mountain-hilly and hydrographic landscapes – a view from Bistra to the Mavrovo Lake status of a candidate country for EU membership.
