%X In the Republic of Macedonia, which declared its independence in 1991, and used the name the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) on the international area due to its name problem with Greece, there were conflicts between Macedonians and Albanians lasted for about 8 months in 2001. The negotiation process, started between the representatives of two groups following the conflicts, lasted about two weeks, and the Ohrid Framework Agreement (OFA) was signed on 13 August 2001. The OFA has considerably affected political structure and democratization process of Macedonia. After this event, despite a thorny process, there have been seen improvements in minority rights; notably, the local governments have gained more autonomy; and serious steps have been taken regarding language freedoms. However, along with these positive developments, it is observed that after the OFA, the targeted regulations cannot be fully realized, and parties of both sides have dissatisfaction about the process. For that reason, it is a necessity to reconsider the OFA and its implementation. This process has been partly initiated by the political and civilian mechanisms of the Republic of Macedonia; however, if necessary, it is to the point that international structures give concrete support to this processes. This study analyses the sustainability of stability in Macedonia in terms of the OFA and post-process, regarding the opinions of both parties
