, a legal system has been established to determine the validity of amnesties. In April 2016, the Criminal Court of Macedonia stopped the criminal proceedings against several defendants, including Zoran Zaev, the leader of the SDSM party and later Prime Minister. This decision was based on the amnesty granted by the President. However, this amnesty is illegal according to the Macedonian Constitution and the decision of the Constitutional Court that states that the amnesty is not valid. This decision has caused much controversy and has resulted in the Macedonian government being required to pay millions of euros in damages to those who have been illegally convicted. In today’s episode of Teški Muabeti, editor of Infomax, Aleksandar Mitovski, discussed the case and the implications for the legal system. He argued that the court should make a binding decision on the issue of amnesties, which will be obligatory for all courts to follow. This would help ensure that all amnesties are legally valid and that no one is illegally convicted.
