Guiding principle: The freedom of thought and public expression of thought is subjective right which is unrescindablly connected with the human personality.

Since the Constitution of Republic of Macedonia does not consist, nor special neither general legal reserve providing restrictions of the enforcement of the freedom of thought and public expression of thought, its limitation should be look for in the wholeness of the Constitution and its determinations, taking in consider the international documents ratified in conformity with the Constitution.Despite the high level of guaranty, freedom of thought and public expression of thought determined in the Constitution of Republic of Macedonia are not absolute and can not exist unrestrictedly. The legal framework has to bound the individual freedom for protection of others', due to secure mutual life.
