The paper is based on the documents from the relevant Macedonian state bodies, SIGMA, EU progress reports and Civil Society Organizations (CSO) that are operating in the field of the public procurement. We present the institutional and legal aspects as well as the experience with the operation of the public procurement management and the proper remedy bodies. We also touch the aspects of corruption and the public procurement experience in Macedonia.References
