Ustavni sud Srbije - prvih pet decenija

Abstract

Sledeće godine obeležiće se pet decenija otkako je u bivšoj SFR Jugoslaviji ustanovljena ustavnosudska funkcija. Kako je Ustav SFRJ od 1963. godine predvideo postojanje ustavnog sudstva i na nivou federacije i na nivou federalnih jedinica (tzv. nemački model), te godine je počeo sa radom i Ustavni sud SR Srbije, uspostavljen Ustavom SR Srbije od 1963. godine. Ustavni sud Srbije bio je predviđen i ustavima od 1974. i 1990. godine, kao i važećim Ustavom Srbije od 2006. godine, što znači da je on tokom proteklih pet decenija radio u kontinuitetu, premda su se njegova organizacija, sastav i nadležnosti menjali u nekoliko navrata. Taj organ je započeo sa radom kao ustavni sud federalne jedinice u zemlji koja je negovala socijalistički model ustavnosti, zasnovan na načelu jedinstva vlasti, dok je danas, nepunih pedeset godina nakon toga, on ustavnosudski organ jedne samostalne države, koja se vratila demokratsko-socijalnoj ustavnosti, podeli vlasti i narodnoj suverenosti.

Next year will mark five decades since the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia had adopted a judicial review. Since the Constitution of the SFRY of 1963 established constitutional courts at the federal level as well as at the level of federal units (so-called German model), the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Serbia began its work in the same year. The Constitutional Court of Serbia continued its existence in subsequent constitutions of 1974, 1990 and 2006, which means that during the past five decades it worked continuously, although its organization, composition and competencies have changed several times. The Constitutional Court of Serbia started its work as a constitutional court of a federal unit in the federation that adopted the socialist model of constitutionality, based on the principle of the unity of powers. Today, almost fifty years later, the Constitutional Court of Serbia is the constitutional court of an independent unitary state, which has returned to the liberal- democratic model of constitutionality and the principle of separation of powers.
