POSITION OF PRESIDENTIAL SPOUSE IN CERTAIN EUROPEAN POSCOMMUNIST COUNTRIES

Abstract

Position of president of the republic worldwide has been vastly discussed in domestic and foreign literature. However, the position of presidential spouse, as far as the authors know, hasn’t been under much scrutiny. That very fact has instigated the authors to research this matter and give incentive for further scientific research. The object of analysis are only certain European countries, because the intention was to analyse European countries that were the part of so-called ‘communist bloc’. This is logical choice, having in mind that our country was also part of that milieu. The paper consists of three parts – introduction that gives brief overview of the position of president in these countries, main part that contemplates concrete solutions and concluding remarks that intent to summarize findings of the research.
