Pri príležitosti 20. výročia schválenia Ústavy Slovenskej republiky autor analyzuje spoločensko-politické podmienky jej prípravy a schvaľovania a na tomto základe hodnotí jej pôvodný text. Predmetom analýzy sú aj doposiaľ uskutočnené priame novelizácie Ústavy Slovenskej republiky, ako aj jej nepriame novelizácie uskutočnené prostredníctvom samostatných ústavných zákonov, ktoré spolu s Ústavou Slovenskej republiky vytvárajú polylegálny ústavný systém Slovenskej republiky. Autor poukazuje na najzávažnejšie nedostatky slovenskej ústavy v platnom znení (vysoká flexibilita a tým aj nízka stabilita ústavy, len rámcová úprava postavenia prokuratúry, nefunkčnosť ústavnej úpravy inštitútu referenda), zároveň však konštatuje, že Ústavu Slovenskej republiky možno považovať za ústavu moderného demokratického a právneho štátu, ktorá znesie porovnanie aj s ústavami tradičných demokracií.

The 20th anniversary of adoption of the Constitution of the Slovak Republic is the reason for author to analyse socio-political conditions of its preparation and adoption and on this basis also to evaluate its original wording. The objects of analysis are direct amendments of the Constitution of the Slovak Republic, as well as its indirect amendments adopted through individual constitutional acts which together with the Constitution of the Slovak Republic create so-called polylegal constitutional system of the Slovak Republic. The author stresses out the most serious shortcomings of valid Slovak Constitution (high flexibility and thus low stability of the Constitution, only frame regulation of prosecution position, non-functionality of the constitutional regulation of institute of referendum), but also implies that the Constitution of Slovak Republic can be considered the Constitution of modern democratic state governed by rule of law which can be compared with Constitutions of traditional democracies.

W związku z dwudziestą rocznicą uchwalenia Konstytucji Republiki Słowackiej autor analizuje społeczno-polityczne przesłanki jej przygotowania i uchwalenia i na tej podstawie dokonuje oceny jej tekstu podstawowego. Przedmiotem analizy są ponadto zarówno bezpośrednie zmiany tekstu konstytucji, jak i zmiany pośrednie dokonane w odrębnych ustawach konstytucyjnych, które wraz z konstytucją tworzą polilegalny system konstytucyjny Republiki Słowackiej. Autor wskazuje również na najpoważniejsze niedociągnięcia słowackiej konstytucji (duża elastyczność i niestabilność konstytucji, jedynie ogólna regulacja konstytucyjna prokuratury, niefunkcjonalność konstytucyjnej regulacji instytucji referendum). Jednocześnie autor zwraca uwagę, że konstytucja słowacka może być postrzegana jako konstytucja nowoczesnego demokratycznego państwa prawnego, wytrzymująca porównanie z konstytucjami tradycyjnych demokracji.

In the modern constitutional state the mechanism of elections to the representative bodies serves a unique function. That is why the electoral judiciary is such important institution. In Slovakia the most important part of that kind of judiciary has been assigned to the Constitutional Court (CC), which has the power to rule on the constitutionality and legality of all (5) present in Slovakia types of elections. In terms of the number of judgments of the CC those of election complaints occupy the second position. The most numerous complaints are those against the municipal elections to the local government bodies, and their number is continously growing. The concentration of electoral judiciary in the hands of the body which has a specific, guaranteed by the Slovak Constitution position in the judicial system has numerous advantages. However, this concentration has its weaknesses, related primarily to the question of whether CC is able to guarantee the settlement of those cases within a reasonable period of time. The answer to this question must take into account not only the overall (growing) number of constitutional complaints brought before the CC with the specific dispute about them, but also the quantitative and qualitative parameters of the rest of his judicial functions. Establishing a deadline for resolving electoral complaints by the CC we consider as only formal way to solve it, not having a systemic nature and not related to the significance of the problem of “timeliness”. A balanced solution could continually leave all current powers of CC in election complaints, but with the difference that predicating on elections to the bodies of local selfgovernment would be entrusted to the CC adjudicating panels/formation (not plenum) and only the matters relating to other elections would still be the responsibility of the plenum of the CC. In this way, the largest settlement of electoral matters would be left to 4 “adjudicating bodies” (there are now four triple panels in the CC), which with no doubt would lead to the acceleration of proceeding and adjudicating on complaints of election.

The article intends to contribute to the theoretical and practical debates concerning the scope of application of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (hereafter „the Charter“) in relation to the recent judgments of the Court of Justice in the cases Åklagaren Fransson and Melloni. An analysis of these judgments is concentrated on the interpretation of the general provisions of the Charter, namely of Articles 51, 52 and 53. The key element of the application of the Charter within the Member States is a proper interprreation of Article 51 paragraph 1 which uses, regarding to the Member States, the term: only when they are implementing the EU law. The interpretation of that Article in the recent case law goes visibly beyond its mere wording since the Court of Justice wants to connect the application of the Charter with its previous case law on the general principles. The authors deal also with the levels of protection of fundamental rights in interaction between the Charter and national constitutions and the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. The conclusions of the treatise should open the door for further research of the question of applicability of the Charter within the Member States.
