In this paper, fundamental recent scientific and theoretical viewpoints on parliamentary immunity, and comparative analysis of constitutional, legal and sub -legal solutions with their practical application in both some countries with developed constitutional democracies and parliamentary traditions and in some transitional countries are used. The author does this in an attempt to attempt to establish not only what constitutional legal regulation of parliamentary immunity in democratic societies it is like today, but also what are the most important dilemmas and open questions which arise in these societies regarding parliamentary democracy. On the basis of all of this, an attempt is made to provide an answer to the question of where the limits of parliamentary immunity should be in the future.
