LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNIT COUNCILLOR AS DEPUTY BOROUGH LEADER

Journal Title: Annuals of the Administration and Law - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue 0

Abstract

In the self-governing system acts the legislator introduced the incompatibilitas principle, according to which, among other things, it is not allowed to join a mandate of the councillor with the membership of another body of a self-governing unit. The content of this interdiction was established in 2001, when the bodies of all self-governing units were collegial. When in 2002 a fundamental change was made in the system of an administrative district by means of eliminating the collegial management and making a borough leader the one-man executive body, the legislator did not take this change into consideration in the provisions determining the incompatibilitas principle. Since only joining a mandate of the councillor with the membership of the body of a self-governing unit is still prohibited, the author has made an attempt to answer the question whether it is therefore possible for the councillor to simultaneously perform the function of the deputy borough leader in the valid legal status. Consequently, the issues concerning possible sanctions which will be applied in the case of such a situation have also been analysed in the context of the given answer.
