This paper analyzes the functioning of the legal and political system of the Republic of Macedonia since its independence in 1991, regarding inter-ethnic relations and their legal and political solutions which are analyzed from the perspective of the process of democratization of the country as the main precondition for Euro-Atlantic integration. The paper concludes that the legal and political system of this state in transition utterly manifests the ethnocratic features as a permanent line of political governance with the state, which conceptually and practically favors the position and the rule of only one ethnic group to the detriment of democratic conceptual principles because ethnicity in this country is politicized and reflects in the daily lives of the citizens. That is why, the purpose of this paper consists in the elaboration of legal and political aspects of the position of Albanians in this country within the legal and political system drawing appropriate arguments over what is "de lege lata" and what should be "de lege ferenda" in terms of ethnic equality between ethnic Macedonians and ethnic Albanians, as the two greatest communities in this country, because democracy is possible only with equal citizens in all spheres of social and public life.
Since the 1990s, when the first computers were introduced as workplace tools and the technological expansion began, computers, information technologies, and the internet have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. Computers are now an essential tool in all aspects of life, including business, telecommunications, and personal use. Given the increased use of information technologies in our businesses and daily lives, it is not surprising that computer-related crimes are on the rise. The widespread use of computers in our society has resulted in a rapid rise in issues and problems associated with crime, particularly cybercrime. As cybercrime committed via the internet and computer networks becomes more prevalent, courts require technical personnel who are experts in this field. The proper legal framework and division of investigative responsibility are not always clear. Law enforcement faces new challenges as it works to improve its capacity to investigate and prosecute cybercrime. This paper discusses crime scene management for cybercrime criminal offenses. So, we aim to research and present in the most meaningful way what the crime scene is, how site inspection is carried out, how the crime scene is preserved and secured, and what the crime scene documentation is, knowing that traces and material evidence in cybercrime cases occupy a special place in the investigative process.
