Macedonia's government welcomes and seeks out foreign investors. The Prime Minister regularly leads investment roadshows and has charged multiple Ministers and agencies with promoting Macedonia as an investment destination. Macedonia's legal framework for foreign investors is generally in line with international standards. However, investors complain that many laws are enforced unevenly or not at all, and corruption is widespread and largely goes unpunished. Bureaucracy and lack of communication and capacity within the government also frustrate investors. The judicial system is slow and many investors and citizens of Macedonia believe it to be corrupt. Foreign investors also complain that it can be challenging to secure visas for foreign managers and employees. Macedonia generally has been free from political violence for the past decade. However, interethnic and inter-religious tensions remain and are often aggravated by political rhetoric.
