The article deals with issues related to the difficulties in implementing the sovereignty of North Macedonia in the context of the international relations system transformation and the formation of a new world order structure. The processes of disintegration that led to the breakup of Yugoslavia and the emergence of newly independent states on the world map set them a number of tasks that had to be resolved. They had to build their own domestic and foreign policy without any proper experience. For North Macedonia, the process of establishing a working State was extremely difficult. It was accompanied by problems in the economic and socio-political sphere, the fight against separatist tendencies, and the need to find solutions to ethnic conflicts. Under these circumstances, the government had to find a balance in the legal and educational fields, which can be considered a success on the way to forming a multi-ethnic society that can become a stable basis for creating a civil nation. Obviously, the country expected assistance from European structures as it attempted to solve difficulties and problems that it was not possible for a small State to overcome on its own. It showed a willingness to join NATO and the EU, primarily to ensure security, as well as the economic and social well-being of its citizens. Despite the numerous difficulties and obstacles, it is clear that North Macedonia is following the designated course, and some success may indicate the right choice
