Atanas Slavov in “Face to Face” on bTV

The constitution allows the president to issue a decree appointing Ivan Geshev as prosecutor general. Still, he can also refer to the Constitutional Court, explained Atanas Slavov, a doctor of constitutional law. According to him, the president has a reason to demand this. “Within the same constitutional text, different legal models have operated, some of them mutually exclusive. According to the previous legal model, if the president returns the procedure, it stops and starts again. Under the current legal text, the Supreme Judicial Court has the right to decide whether to continue the current or create a new procedure, “explained Atanas Slavov.
