Item type:Publication, UROPEAN EXPERIENCES OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY(IKSAD GLOBAL Publishing House, 2022-03-29) ;Milena Apostolovska Stepanoska ;Vasko NaumovskiMilena GosevskaCorporate social responsibility is the company's responsibility for the impact of its decisions and activities on society and the environment. This is achieved through transparent and ethical behavior that contributes to sustainable development and takes into account the expectations of stakeholders and is in line with international norms. Corporate social responsibility is a way of doing business. It is directly related to sustainable development requiring the company to look at its financial, social and environmental performance. The social responsibility of the company should be strategically integrated fully in the business process of the company, the supply chain, the products, as well as in the customer relations. The company's social responsibility is perfectly in line with the company's quest for easier market access, increased productivity or reduced operating costs. The authors of the paper first analyze the concept of corporate social responsibility. Here they review the legal framework of corporate social responsibility and then make a more substantial overview of corporate social responsibility in the pharmaceutical industry. This section also presents the ethics in the pharmaceutical industry as part of corporate social responsibility and corporate social responsibility. At the end, the authors present their findings from the research. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, ETHICS IN THE PHARMACY(IKSAD Publications – 2023, 2023) ;Milena Apostolovska Stepanoska ;Vasko NaumovskiMarija NikolovaAbstract Pharmacy as an industrial branch is going through intense technological, informational and biomedical progress which brings with it a multitude of ethical challenges in their professional work. Pharmaceutical practice is increasingly changing and a new role of the pharmacist is emerging as someone who manages the given drug therapy with the aim of efficient and effective health care in the treatment process itself. At the center of pharmaceutical attention is the patient and taking responsibility for the outcome of pharmacotherapy, as well as undertaking numerous interventions aimed at maintaining or improving the quality of life (health) of the patient. Modern pharmaceutical practice implies, above all, the care of the patient's well-being and brings with it professional expectations and obligations, which can bring serious conflicts and ethical dilemmas. The World Health Organization considers the pharmaceutical profession and pharmacists as the primary level of health care and as the most accessible source of health information. The social role of the pharmacist is changing and with it the level of awareness that has a meaning of professional and work ethics is also changing. Although the health profession has long explained the corpus of ethical attitudes, developed primarily for the benefit of patients, pharmacy as a profession has a particularly pronounced distinctiveness of its ethical norms, which are divided into work and professional ethics in pharmaceutical practice, and are also different. The paper deals with a topic that has great importance and a central place in the functioning of all companies, including companies from the pharmaceutical industry.The main purpose of the research is to show the importance of professional ethics and knowledge of ethical codes, ethical principles and moral principles by pharmacists, as well as ways of making decisions in situations when pharmacists are faced with an ethical problem in the conditions of modern pharmaceutical practice, and the impact of their disregard in terms of social responsibility in corporate governance in the pharmaceutical industry - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, ДЕФИНИРАЊЕ НА УЛОГАТА НА ЕУ КАКО ГЛОБАЛЕН АКТЕР: ПРЕДИЗВИЦИ И ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ(Konrad Adenauer Foundation, Republic of North Macedonia Institute for Democracy “Societas Civilis”, Skopje, 2021-08) ;Milena Apostolovska Stepanoska ;Vasko NaumovskiLeposava OgnjanovskaУлогата и позицијата на Европската Унија како глобален актер на меѓународната сцена се базираат врз тезата дека креирањето на Унијата е со цел да се стави крај на геополитиката, чие вообичаено поимање се надоврзува на сфаќањето на динамичната моќ во меѓународните односи. ЕУ промовира нов концепт на безбедност заснован на меѓузависност и пренесен суверенитет на заеднички воспоставените институции. Одржувањето на мирот на европското тло било замислено да се одвива преку економска соработка на земјите-членки што понатаму би довела до нивна меѓусебна солидарност, што се предвидува и во Шумановата декларација од 1950 година. Либералниот светски поредок по Втората светска војна се темели на мултилатерализмот, како надворешна политика што ја практикуваат повеќе актери на меѓународната сцена, врз основа на доброволна и (во суштина) институционализирана соработка регулирана со норми и принципи кои важат (во голема мера) подеднакво за сите држави-учеснички, заради заедничко соочување со споделените проблеми и предизвици.1 Како продукт на мултилатерализмот, ЕУ повеќе децении наназад ја игнорираше „политиката на моќ“ и се концентрираше на економската интеграција2, иако причините за формирањето на овој sui generis конструкт на меѓународното право се примарно од безбедносно-сигурносен карактер. Во надворешните односи, ЕУ се перципира како „мека сила“ што ги промовира демократијата и основните права потпирајќи се на инструментите на „мека моќ“, како ефективна замена за воената моќ, односно безбедносната и одбранбена политика во однос на која земјите-членки се потпираа на водството на САД во рамките на Трансатлантскиот сојуз. Со Лисабонскиот договор, ЕУ стекна меѓународен правен субјективитет, така што може да ги остварува надлежностите во надворешната политика, вклучително и да учествува во работата на меѓународните организации, во границите на овластувањата што ѝ се пренесени од страна на земјите-членки. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, THE RULE OF LAW IN THE CONTEXT OF THE EUROPEAN UNION’S WESTERN BALKANS ENLARGEMENT POLICY(Konrad Adenauer Foundation, Republic of North Macedonia Institute for Democracy “Societas Civilis”, Skopje, 2020-05) ;Milena Apostolovska Stepanoska ;Vasko NaumovskiLeposava OgnjanovskaThe major project of European unifi cation that led to the creation of the European Union as a unique European construct was developed in a lengthy and multi-layered integration process. The creation and maintenance of peace and security in Europe after World War II is the raison d’être of this complex European integration process that was initiated with the foundation of the European Communities. The idea of peace was envisioned to be realised by means of economic integration of the member states, which would subsequently lead to mutual solidarity. The convergence of the member states’ economic policies implied the necessity to unify policies in other areas, too, which led to a spillover eff ect concerning integration beyond economy and a gradual development of political union as a following stage of integration. The European Union is actually the result of a unifi cation process based on certain values that set the ground for developing common policies to achieve common goals and realise common interests. In that context, the rule of law is recognised as one of the European Union’s basic values.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, THE PROCESSES OF (DE) STABILISATION IN THE BALKANS THROUGH THE PRISM OF THE EUROPEAN INTEGRATION(Konrad Adenauer Foundation, Republic of North Macedonia / Institute for Democracy “Societas Civilis”, Skopje, 2022-01)Vasko NaumovskiWhile commemorating 70 years since the signing of the Paris Agreement1, which established the European Coal and Steel Community, in 2021 the process of European integration is not living its best days, especially not in the Balkans. The internal functional inconsistencies in the Union, the slow pace of work (partly caused by the health and economic crisis), the strengthening of national versus supranational interests, and the clear lack of leadership have significantly changed the agenda of priorities, with the usual “victim” being the expansion. At the same time, in the broader context of relations with its neighbors, the EU is facing a security crisis on its borders, and a situation which escalation would confront the Union with perhaps the greatest security challenge since its inception. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Overcoming Bilateral Disputes as Part of the EU Accession Process(European Studies Department, Faculty of Philosophy at Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, 2019-05)Vasko NaumovskiBilateral disputes have presented a significant obstacle for EU enlargement, especially in the region of South-Eastern Europe. The disputes between Slovenia and Croatia, Macedonia and Greece, Turkey and Greece/Cyprus - demonstrated the need for a more cohesive approach in order to avoid situations where bilateral issues could pose a threat to the enlargement policy. Moreover, future enlargement rounds may be endangered by additional disputes - Croatia and Serbia, Serbia and Kosovo, Albania and Serbia, etc. Historic, cultural and political issues often favor national interests, while the common European interest remains neglected. The idea for a “Europe whole, free and at peace” can be realized only with the necessary political will and courage, strong determination for completion of the European project, and continuous commitment to the process that has brought benefits to millions of European - enlargement. Instead of maintaining the fear of “importing conflicts”, EU is the most appropriate actor that can contribute to solve them, using all the tools available in the accession process. Lessons learned, existing challenges, as well as potential outcomes are analyzed in this paper. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, SOME ASPECTS OF THE ROLE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION IN THE BALKANS AFTER THE COLD WAR(Konrad Adenauer Foundation, Republic of North Macedonia / Institute for Democracy “Societas Civilis”, Skopje, 2018-12)Vasko NaumovskiEnergy and economy have become the new priorities for Russia in the Balkans, without abandoning the strategic geopolitical and security interests. The rise of the Turkish interest in the region additionally increased the need for adjustments in the post-Cold War political landscape. Shifting the United States’ focus away from the Balkans has created new opportunities for Russia, and the stalemate in the EU accession of some Balkan countries has led to modifications in their foreign policy goals. This paper examines Russia’s influence in the countries of the Balkan region, its interests in this part of Europe, as well as its relations to other (dis)integration processes. The following questions will be analysed: What were the reasons for the Soviet involvement in conflicts on the Balkans during the World Wars and the Cold War? How did Russia react to the dissolution of Yugoslavia? What were the responses of Russian foreign policy to the EU and NATO enlargement by countries in the region? What are the circumstances of the Russian position regarding the independence of Kosovo? How does the energy issue relate to the bilateral relations with the Balkan countries? What theoretical assumptions can be used to explain Russia’s policy in the region? Is Russia seeking to restore the balance of power established during the Cold War? What are the future prospects of the Russian influence in the Balkans? - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, DEFINING THE ROLE OF THE EU AS A GLOBAL ACTOR: CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES(Konrad Adenauer Foundation, Republic of North Macedonia / Institute for Democracy “Societas Civilis”, Skopje, 2021-08)Vasko NaumovskiThe Union’s internal cohesion is key to the effectiveness of European responses and dealing with global crises. The EU institutions and the member states must establish a common vision that would be realized through strong coordination structures for harmonization of action and adoption of appropriate measures for increased visibility in the modern international system. The concept of the EU as a global actor that relies primarily on its soft power is a concept that belongs to the past, as it cannot provide a sufficient international presence in proportion to the size of the Union. The EU as a global power with combined power characteristics is a more appropriate concept to achieve the ambitions for influence on the international scene. The COVID-19 crisis has confirmed the thesis that the EU needs “strategic autonomy” to be able to reduce its dependence on other global actors in its foreign relations, so that it can make more autonomous decisions to promote its interests. There are several areas in which the EU has already developed appropriate instruments and initiatives to assert its authority, such as the protection of the environment and climate change, energy and transport, the digitalization process and finance, and needs to work harder to strengthen its position on dealing with modern security and defense threats. In all these areas, the EU’s normative power as a promoter of certain values is the strongest attribute it should use to maintain multilateralism through more visible participation in international organizations. The current crisis brings with it great uncertainty and unpredictability, but what is quite certain is that the map of Europe will not change. Therefore, the EU should recognize the Western Balkans as its ally and partner in the process of the continent’s unification and strengthening. Therefore, the EU should approach the region as an equal actor and include it in its foreign policy initiatives to increase continental integrity and promote common European values.
