On 27 October 1975, France and Yugoslavia signed a Co-Production Agreement, which entered into force on 21 September 1977, replacing the precedent Agreement of 7 July 1954.

After the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia, as a successor state, has agreed with France to keep on applying the agreement and to maintain it in force.

The co-production films must be made by French directors, technicians, and actors (it suffices though that they are resident in France), in conjunction with Macedonian directors, technicians, and actors. Third country producers may join the co-production, if their country is linked to France or Macedonia by a films co-production agreement.

Financial contribution of a co-producer shall be at least 30% (exceptionally under certain conditions, 20% are the minimum).
