Short narrative bio

As a Doctor of Law in the field of financial law, my research interests are in the field of legal aspects of business and finance, including the administrative and administrative-judicial protection of entities, legal entities and individuals. I realized my formal education, Bachelor of Law (2006), Master of Law (2009) and doctoral studies (2012) at the Faculty of Law “Iustinianus Primus” of the University “St. Cyril and Methodius” in Skopje. Regarding my professional development,in parallel with my formal education, I have been within the academic environment since 2017:selectedfor junior assistant (2007), assistant (2010), assistant professor (2012), associate professor (2017), full professor (2022) at the Faculty of Law and political science at FON University in Skopje in the field of financial and administrative law.

Additionally, my current position is Dean of the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences (2021 – to date). From this perspective, my efforts and activities are aimed at raising the quality of legal education. The interests and efforts are oriented towards greater involvement of clinical teaching in the educational process through the process of organizing and developing the legal clinic within the Faculty.

Since 2022, I have been serving as an independent member of the supervisory board of Halk Bank, AD Skopje. An aspect relevant from this experience is that it enables provision of academic input, but also obtaining practical examples and facts to challenge, test and confirm principles from the theory of law.

I would like to emphasize the status of a visiting professor at the University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, at the Faculty of Law, undergraduate and doctoral studies (2015-2016).

In addition to my academic work, I am a member of the Editorial Board of the International Scientific Journal Visions, Member of Scientific Committee in International Conference Proceedings,  INNOVATION AS THE INITIATOR OF DEVELOPMENT, International Scientific & Professional Conference, MEFkon 2021, 2022, 2023, Faculty of Applied Management, Economics and Finance Belgrade, member of the Supervisory Board of the professional magazine “Lawyer”, managed by the Association of Lawyers of the Republic of North Macedonia; Honorary member of the Chamber of Mediators.

Within the University structures, I am the head of the Department of Business Law; member of the commission for preparation of the statute of the University; member of the commission for recognition of examinations; member of the Editorial Board of the Annual Publication of the FON University (2008/2009); Technical Secretary of the Anthology of Scientific Papers: The Republic of Macedonia on the Road to NATO and the European Union, Conditions and Perspectives, published by FON University (2007); chairman of the commission for preparation of schedules at the Faculty of Law; President of the Commission for Enrollment of Students at the Faculty of Law at FON University; member of the commission for preparation of the elaborations for the study programs for the first and second cycle of studies within the Faculty of Law and Political Science. I have also been involved in a number of projects at the level of the University, such as: Knowledge Factory, Measured Education and others.

I have presented my above-mentioned scientific papers from the specified areas at domestic and international, professional and scientific gatherings.
