abstract
JUDr. Eduard Barány, CSc., director of Institute of State and Law of the Slovak Academy of Sciences presented an article called “The Legacy of Czechoslovak Statehood for Slovakia”. He maintains that “constitutional legacy of the former Czechoslovakia, consisting in the form of public institutions and a way or culture of their operation, is wide and maybe also firm”. It is caused by the fact that a fundamental tradition of statehood in Slovakia is that of Czechoslovakia. The fundamental heritage of Czechoslovakia is the mere fact of the existence of the Slovak Republic. The Slovak Republic inherited from Czechoslovakia an almost complete system of constitutional institutions and state authorities. The system, however, was supplemented by other institutions after the establishment of an independent Slovak Republic. The author attaches special importance to the fact that the new state inherited working systems of local state administration, police, judiciary, prosecution and customs authorities. Afterwards, the author reminds us of traditions such as election legislation and political culture that manifests in the neutrality of army which the author finds even in the period of communist regime. Mentioning the drawbacks of the first constitution, he reminds us of, for example, the constitutional position of Sub-Carpathian Ukraine which had never been realized, in the socialist constitution for instance a constitutional court, which had not been realized and finally superior self-governing regions, which have not been realized etc. Dr. Barány expresses in the end of his speech satisfaction that historical research is slowly being separated from politics which enables its rationality.
