<p>This study presents measurements of the geomagnetic field of the Republic of Macedonia, performed through a network of newly defined repeat stations. The measurements of these elements were in the intervals of 3.378° ≤ DD ≤ 3.983°, 57.276° ≤ I ≤ 59.005°, and 46 235 nT ≤ F ≤ 46903 nT. The geomagnetic data were processed and the results of the observed elements of the geomagnetic field on the repeat stations are presented. Additional data processing was performed to calculate the reduced values of the intensive elements of the field at the level of H500 a.s.l.. Based on these data, new maps of the geomagnetic field of the Republic of Macedonia are developed, together with the polynomial model of the elements of the geomagnetic field for the 2010.0 epoch.</p>
