The paper aims to analyze pension policies in the Republic of Macedonia and the European Commission's findings in the annual progress report for Macedonia. In the framework of the research there are used descriptive method, historical method, method of analysis and comparative method. The paper consists to point out trends for finding the most appropriate solution through the building of policies, laws and institutions that correctly will deal with this problem. While results should serve the academic community, students and political stakeholders in finding the most appropriate solution, in accordance with real possibilities.
