The author points out that the issue of costs of proceedings before the Constitutional Tribunal has not been elaborated in the literature so far, whereas it is of practical importance, although not as great as the institution of civil trial costs in particular. However, this issue is an interesting subject of legal interpretation and inference. The paper discusses the functions of costs of proceedings before the Constitutional Tribunal, their scope and the rules for their adjudication. In conclusion, it was found that the regulation of this institution is defective, as it contains significant gaps that need to be filled by way of appropriate or analogous application of several other normative acts. This led the author to postulate de lege ferenda that this state of affairs should be changed.
