With the renewal of the Macedonian state on the Anti-fascist Assembly of the National Liberation of Macedonia (ASNOM), on August 2nd 1944 in the ancient temporary lodgment of the monastery St. Father Prohor Pcinski, once again the foundations of the Macedonian state are built on a part of Macedonian territory.

During 1944 in the framework of the constituting of Macedonia, as a federal unit of Yugoslavia, based on the documents of ASNOM the prosecution office is constituted as a part of the Yugoslav federal hierarchy. The Public Prosecution Office of the Republic of Macedonia consisted of the Public Prosecution Office, District and Regional Prosecution Offices, formally is created on March 31st 1944 when the General Procuror- Prosecutor of Macedonia was nominated.
