On 23 February 1972, Germany and Yugoslavia had signed a Cinematographic Agreement, which entered into force on 24 February 1972, replacing the preceding agreement of 19 July 1957.
In January 1994 Germany has agreed with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, as a successor state, to keep on applying the agreement and to maintain it in force.
The Agreement applies to full-length films. Multilateral co-productions with producers from third countries being linked to Germany or Macedonia by a Co-Production Agreement are possible;
Financial contribution of a co-producer shall generally be at least 30% (in the case of multilateral co-productions, 20% are the minimum).
