Abstracts

In this article, the author deals with the question of whether, in terms of the Constitution of the Slovak Republic, the Prime Minister should be considered as a member of the Government. The question may seem strange or unnecessary at first glance. However, the need for its thorough and correct analysis has emerged from an opinion presented in the theory, according to which, where the Constitution speaks of members of the Government, it means all its members except for the Prime Minister. This opinion has been repeatedly presented by Radoslav Procházka. This article is a response to the stated opinion, which the author considers legally untenable. Based on the analysis of the constitutional position of the Prime Minister, the author demonstrates in detail why, in Slovakia, the Prime Minister has the status of a member of the Government and is to be considered as such. In the paper, the author also explains some essential connotations of the constitutional position of the Prime Minister.
