The Constitutional Court is an independent judicial authority vested with the mandate to protect the constitution. It should be composed of thirteen judges. However, at the moment, the Constitutional Court consists of only ten judges, nine of which have already exceeded ten years of their twelve year term. Despite the fact, that parliament has already nominated eight candidates. The president has appointed only one of them. The president reasoned his respective decision with the existence of the constitutional guarantee of the right not to appoint a judge". The existence of such constitutional guarantee has been contested by both the candidates as well as by the third senate of the Constitutional Court. The essence of the claim is anchored in an interpretation of the president's power to appoint the judges and it could be expressed by the question of whether the president is unconditionally obliged to appoint half of the candidates nominated by parliament and if not, what are the limits of his discretion. In the light of this question we need to focus on the purport and assignment of this power and to distinguish its notarial, controlling (limited or extended) and correcting role.
