Summary:In January 2018, the Government started debating on the reform of constitutional judges’ selection mechanism. The Slovak National Council proved to be able to introduce minor changes to the first phase of constitutional judges’ selection process, through the adoption of Act no. 314/2018. However, the rejection of constitutional amendment bill no. 1060, on October 23, 2018, represented a missed opportunity to reform the Constitutional Court.
