Besedilo sporazuma se v izvirniku v angleškem jeziku in v prevodu v slovenskem jeziku glasi: The Government of the Republic of Slovenia and the Government of the Republic of Macedonia (hereinafter referred to as the “Contracting Parties”); Accepting that, on the basis of reciprocity, dependants of accredited employees of the sending State assigned to official duty in the receiving State as members of a diplomatic mission or a consular post, shall receive authorisation to engage in gainful occupation in the receiving State, Have agreed as follows: For the purposes of this Agreement: 1. “Member of a diplomatic mission or consular post” shall mean any employee of the sending State who is not a national of the receiving State and who is assigned to official duty in the receiving State in a diplomatic mission, consular post or mission to an international organisation. 2. “Dependant” shall mean: (a) a spouse or common-law partner; (b) unmarried dependent children up to the age of 18 or the age of 26, provided they are in full-time attendance as students at a post-secondary educational institution; and (c) unmarried dependent children who are physically or mentally disabled. 1. No restrictions shall be placed on the type of gainful occupation of a dependant. However, in those professions where particular qualifications are required in order to undertake gainful occupation, the dependant must satisfy those qualifications. 2. Authorisation to engage in gainful occupation may be denied in cases where, for security reasons or due to national legislation, only nationals of the receiving State may be employed. 3. Should the dependant seek another employment after having been granted authorisation to engage in a gainful occupation under this Agreement, the dependant shall re-apply for authorisation via the diplomatic mission or consular post. Any employment contract concluded by the dependant shall contain a clause to the effect that the contract shall terminate upon the cessation of the authorisation to undertake remunerated activity. 4. Any permission to engage in gainful occupation in the receiving State shall automatically expire should the person cease to have the status of a dependant, or once the assignment of the member of a diplomatic mission or consular post on whom the family member concerned is dependent has been terminated. 5. Authorisation of a dependant to undertake remunerated activity, in conformity with this Agreement, shall not give the person concerned the right to continue working or to reside in the receiving State once the assignment of the member of a diplomatic mission or consular post on whom the family member concerned is dependent has terminated. 1. Before a dependant may engage in gainful occupation in the receiving State, the diplomatic mission or consular post of the sending State shall make an official request to the Protocol Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the receiving State. 2. Upon verification whether the person concerned falls within the categories defined in this Agreement and after observing applicable domestic procedures, the Protocol Division shall promptly notify the diplomatic mission or consular post that the person concerned has been granted permission to engage in gainful occupation after the fulfilment of legal requirements in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of the receiving State, including the issue of a work permit, if necessary. 1. For dependants who engage in gainful occupation under this Agreement and have immunity from the jurisdiction of the receiving State in accordance with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations or the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, immunity from civil and administrative jurisdiction with respect to all matters arising from such gainful occupation is hereby irrevocably waived by the sending State. 2. In the event that a dependant who has immunity from criminal jurisdiction in accordance with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations or the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations is accused of a criminal offence committed in relation to their gainful occupation, the sending State shall give serious consideration to any written request that may be submitted by the receiving State for waiving such immunity. Dependants who engage in gainful occupation under this Agreement shall be subject to fiscal and social security regimes of the receiving State in all matters relating to their gainful occupation in that State. Any differences or disputes arising from the interpretation or application of the provisions of this Agreement shall be settled amicably by consultation or negotiation between the Contracting Parties. This Agreement may be amended or revised, if deemed necessary, by mutual written consent of the Contracting Parties. The amendments or revisions shall take effect in accordance with the provision of Article 8, paragraph 1, hereof and form an integral part of this Agreement. 1. This Agreement shall enter into force on the thirtieth day following the date of receipt of the second written notification through diplomatic channels by which the Contracting Parties inform each other that all internal legal procedures required for the entry into force of the Agreement have been fulfilled. 2. The Agreement shall be concluded for an indefinite period of time. Either Contracting Party may terminate it at any time by giving six months written notice to the other Contracting Party.
