Abstract

Ustavni sud svojevrsna je četvrta grana vlasti koju je ustrojio sam Ustav. U njegovu nadležnost povjeren su vrlo važne zadaće. Samim time od velike je važnosti i sastav suda kako bi on dodijeljene zadaće obavljao što uspješnije. Veliku ulogu u tome ima procedura izbora sudaca. Počevši od tijela koja imaju pravo predlagati kandidate, uvjeta koje moraju ispunjavati kandidati do samog glasanja i izbora na poziciju ustavnog suca. Sva tijela uključena u taj proces izbora imaju utjecaja na krajnji sastav,a samim time i djelovanje suda. Zakonski okvir kojim je uređen izbor ustavnih sudaca trebao bi osigurati što manji utjecaj svih vanjskih faktora te pridonijeti neovisnosti suda i samih sudaca. Niz je problema i pitanja koji se javljaju prilikom izbor od kojih neka još uvijek nisu riješena te će u 2024. godini postati vrlo aktualna. Počevši od toga tko nadzire ustavnost i zakonitost izbora ustavnih sudaca te kojem se tijelu obratiti u slučaju kršenja propisanih pravila oko izbora. Mnogi rješenje vide upravo u obraćanju samome Ustavnome sudu upravo iz razloga što je on sam možda najkompetentniji to razmatrati.

Abstract (english)

SUMMARY:
The constitutional court is almost like the fourth branch of power which has been established by the Constitution itself. Very important tasks fall under the courts jurisdiction. Therefore the composition of the court is of utmost importance to successfully fulfil its tasks. The procedure of electing judges plays a big part in that. Starting with the body that has the right to propose candidates and the requirements the candidates have to meet, to the actual voting and the election for the position of a constitutional judge. All the bodies that participate in the process of the election have a certain influence on the composition of the court and the judges themselves. The legal framework governing the election of constitutional judges should secure the least possible influence of all external factors and it should ensure the independence of the court and the judges. There is a vast number of problems and questions that arise during the election process, some of which are still unresolved and will become very relevant in 2024. Starting with who oversees the constitutionality and legality of the election process and to which body to turn in case of a breach of the rules regarding the election. Many see the solution in turning to the constitutional court itself precisely for the reason that maybe it is the most competent to decide.
