The PMR President met with the chairman and judges of the PMR Constitutional Court on the eve of the Constitution Day of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, which Pridnestrovie will celebrate on December 24. The conversation took place at the presidential executive office. Vadim Krasnoselsky noted opening the discussion the importance of the activities of constitutional control bodies. Important historical aspects were recalled. The current Constitution of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic was adopted in 1995 during a popular referendum. The Constitutional Court was created in Pridnestrovie in 2002. Chairman of the Constitutional Court of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic Oleg Kabaloev told the President that milestones in the history of the court and a brief overview of its activities over two decades can be found in two issues of the “Messenger of the Constitutional Court of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic”, which is published in the three official languages of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic. The judges noted that a brief overview of the decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, formulated briefly and systematized in alphabetical order for the convenience of users, was also published there.
Discussing current activities, the judges drew attention to the downward trend in the number of citizens' appeals. One of the reasons is the complexity of the procedure. Oleg Kabaloev considers that the PMR Prosecutor's Office and the Office of the Commissioner for Human Rights need to intensify their participation and provide assistance to citizens in appealing to the Constitutional Court. In addition, it would be advisable to simplify the mechanism for filing applications, according to the Chairman of the PMR Constitutional Court. Oleg Kabaloev spoke about the expansion of the circle of persons who have the right to appeal to the Constitutional Court, initiated by the judicial community, by including them in the list of legal entities. The proposal is being considered by the Supreme Council.
Analyzing the reasons for the reduction in the number of citizens' appeals to the Constitutional Court, Vadim Krasnoselsky noted the fact that legal gaps, discrepancies and difficulties in understanding constitutional norms are becoming fewer and fewer with each decision made.
The interlocutors discussed the interaction of government bodies with the Constitutional Court, talked about current activities and plans for the future, and exchanged views on topical issues of the functioning of the court and the functioning of the state. Vadim Krasnoselsky congratulated the judges on the upcoming Constitution Day of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, emphasizing that this public holiday for judges and employees of the Constitutional Court is also professional.
