abstract
JUDr. Jiří Hřebejk presented a paper called “State Citizenship and our Statehood”. When defining the concept of “statehood” he emphasises the subjective side of the matter, the idea of state. The idea can survive even if the state, the relation to which it expresses, is extinct, as for example the Czechoslovak state. On the other hand state citizenship is a concept denoting “legal relationship and sometimes bond, permanent in time, unlimited to a place, between a natural person and a state, which usually cannot be discharged unless the natural person wishes to do so, on the basis of which mutual rights and obligations arise to its subjects”. Dr. Hřebejk mentions statutes and constitutional acts which influenced Czechoslovak state citizenship. It is namely the constitutional decree of the President of republic 33/1945 Col. (provision for Czechoslovak state citizenship of persons of German and Hungarian nationality), act 194/1949 Col. (State citizenship in the Czechoslovak Republic is sole and universal), constitutional act on Czechoslovak federation and its regulations (Czechoslovak, Czech and Slovak citizenship). In the final part of his paper the author outlines the principles of the current law providing for the acquisition and loss of state citizenship and some problems and perspectives connected to this issue. It is particularly the issue of exclusivity of Czech state citizenship and refusing of double citizenship. In the future, solution of the problem will be influenced by accession of the Czech Republic to European Union and introduction of EU citizenship.
