The paper, which is consisted of<br>three parts, primarily focuses on the legal framework, i.e. the international and domestic<br>instruments related to international cooperation in criminal matters, or more precisely the<br>extradition procedure, whereafter it continues with a review of several court cases in which<br>the Republic of North Macedonia requests extradition of accused or convicted individuals<br>in criminal proceedings, with a detailed description of all actions taken and/or failed to be<br>taken by all actors in the process, the duration of the process, the legal mechanisms (mis)used<br>for rejecting the requests and the consequences of not implementing the procedures for the<br>judicial system and the state as a whole. Finally, after identifying (majority of) obstacles in<br>the implementation of the extradition procedure, there are conclusions and recommendations<br>regarding further necessary steps for efficient implementation of the extradition procedure as<br>one of crucial procedures in a criminal case.</span> <br><br></p>}, number={3}, journal={Proceedings of the International Scientific Conference "Social Changes in the Global World&quot;}, author={Fetai, Fatime}, year={2020}, month={Dec.}, pages={283-304} }
