Political Integrity Data Scoping in Macedonia Transparency is on a satisfactory level. The Law on Access to Information of Public Character is well implemented and the institutions are open for cooperation. There are institutions, agencies and state-owned enterprises that are lacking transparency and no data are available on their webpages. More work is needed on creating datasets and databases which will contain data that are more structured, easier for research and analysis and are updated regularly.
