Communication text used for prediction

The applicant is a Macedonian national who lives in Skopje.
The applicant’s request for his identity not to be disclosed to the public was granted (Rule 47 § 4).
The applicant is represented before the Court by Ms N. Boškova and Mr C. Cojocariu, lawyers practising in Skopje and in Orpington, United Kingdom respectively.
COMPLAINTS The applicant complains under Article 8 of the Convention about the absence of statutory provisions regulating the procedure for recognition of his gender identity and the requirement to undergo genital surgery as a necessary precondition for having his gender identity recognised.
He alleges that such a requirement had no basis in the domestic law; it was arbitrary and contrary to medical opinion and the applicant’s personal choice.
Furthermore, it did not serve any of the aims specified in Article 8 § 2.
Under Article 13 of the Convention, the applicant alleges a lack of an effective remedy in respect of the complaints under Article 8 of the Convention.
