Mission

Foundation Open Society – Macedonia is committed to building dynamic and tolerant societies whose authorities are accountable and open to the participation of all citizens. Our mission is the internal integration of society as a precondition for North Macedonia’s integration into the European Union.

We are focused on strengthening the rule of law, protecting human rights, and building an open society where citizens and CSOs are aware of and actively control and correct the work of the government. We help create public policies that ensure greater fairness and protect basic human rights. Our highest priority is to protect and improve the lives of citizens, especially those belonging to marginalized groups.
