MEANING AND INDEXING THE RULE OF LAW – ESSENTIAL EU AQCUIS
Keywords:
Rule of law, European acquis, European Commission, The Treaty on European Union, The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), The World Justice Project (WJP)Abstract
The transition to democracy, the rule of law and the market economy in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, especially in the Western Balkans, presents problems that were not popularized legally in these countries. It is appropriate to mention first of all that in the first days of the transition, a big gap was imposed between the need to change the legal system and the need for legal certainty. Governments undertook reforms that called into question rights that the state could no longer guarantee or privileges that were incompatible with democratic values. On the other hand, the idea of democratic rule of law as one of the most significant acquis of the European idea assumed stable legislation that could not be changed arbitrarily. In essence, it would undergo certain changes, but in a way that is predictable and that allows the individual to plan and prepare future activities. What is the essence of the rule of law? In what way is this acquis respected in the EU? How and who measures the rule of law index? Is it possible to implement the necessary reforms and at the same time guarantee the legal security of the citizens?
