A team from the Iustinianus Primus Faculty of Law in Skopje—Prof. Dr. Aleksandra Maksimovska Stojkova, Prof. Dr. Aleksandar Stojkov, Prof. Dr. Jovan Zafiroski, and Prof. Dr. Elena Neshovska Kjoseva—paid a research visit to the Faculty of Law, University of Belgrade, from 22 to 24 June 2026.
During the visit, the team participated in the traditional "Tax Evening" (Poresko veče), organized by the Serbian Fiscal Society and the Faculty of Law, University of Belgrade. They also held a working meeting with colleagues from the International Fiscal Association (IFA) Serbia, focusing on strengthening academic and professional cooperation.
Particular emphasis was placed on future collaboration with the Centre for Clinical Legal Education and Research in Tax Law and Public Finance at the Iustinianus Primus Faculty of Law in Skopje. The Centre was established within the framework of the research project "Innovative Scientific Solutions for Tackling Social Inequality and the Shadow Economy in the Republic of North Macedonia through Tax Regulation," funded by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of North Macedonia.
This research visit represents an important step towards strengthening regional and international cooperation in the fields of tax law and public finance.
We are particularly pleased to share that Prof. Dr. Aleksandra Maksimovska Stojkova and Prof. Dr. Elena Neshovska Kjoseva participated in the Annual Congress of the European Association of Tax Law Professors (EATLP), held in Athens, Greece, from 4 to 6 June 2026, under the theme “Interpretation of Tax Legislation.”
In addition to participating in one of the most prominent European academic forums in the field of tax law, they also held the first coordination meeting with academic partners from Southeast Europe in preparation for the international conference that will take place in Ohrid in September.
This is yet another confirmation of the active international engagement of our faculty members and of the successful implementation of the research project “Innovative Scientific Solutions for Tackling Social Inequality and the Shadow Economy in the Republic of North Macedonia through Tax Regulation,” funded by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of North Macedonia.
We are happy to announce that from 11 to 13 September 2026, an international scientific conference dedicated to taxation, social inequality, and the informal economy will be held in Ohrid.
The conference is organized as final activity within the Scientific Research Project titled “Innovative Scientific Solutions for Combating Social Inequality and the Shadow Economy in the Republic of North Macedonia through Tax Regulation”, funded by the Ministry of Education and Science.
