This paper illustrates the situation in the country, in terms of accountability of political officials as the highest state officials and pursuit of legal rules in practical application. Avoiding responsibility by political officials is very common in countries like the Republic of Macedonia. The opposition often requires it, and the government claims that bearing accountability starts with winning the elections, while experts explain that political responsibility is difficult to define in a country like Macedonia where it is not practiced in the everyday political life. Through the analysis of some important cases which we will reach through research, we will discover the ways in which certain responsibilities of political officials are determined, and will also determine the role of institutions and bodies responsible for implementing the legal provisions regarding the accountability of the political officials as top civil servants and their activity in the field. Does accountability of political officials as civil servants fail somewhere, and is disguised and why this is so, will be elaborated in this paper.
