Regions of North Macedonia, 2026
Meet the Republic of North Macedonia at the regional and local level through statistical data relating to the population, as well as to the geographical, socio-economic, cultural, spatial and transport conditions and features
Regional policy is becoming more and more important for the socio-economic development of the country. The main objective of the regional policy is to reduce the differences between
the natural, economic, demographic, social and infrastructural characteristics of the municipalities in the country.
In order to design the regional policy of a country, the availability of relevant and official statistical data is of crucial importance.
The State Statistical Office, within its activities, produces statistical data at different territorial levels – country, region, municipality and settlement.
The basis for collecting, processing and publishing regional data is the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics – NTES.
The data presented in the publication refer to the regions according to the Nomenclature NTES of 2007 (“Official Gazette of the Republic of Macedonia” No. 158/2007 and 10/2014 and
“Official Gazette of the Republic of North Macedonia” No. 131/2019).
While preparing the Nomenclature, efforts were made to achieve harmonisation with the European Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics – NUTS.
