Summary/Abstract: This article aims to present how the balance of powers between the legislative and the executive shifted in the transition processes in Poland and Bulgaria after the fall of communism up to the moment when these countries entered the European Union. Although Poland started off with a stronger president than Bulgaria did, wanting to avoid birth of a new elite and new centralization of power, the initial institutional frame they both eventually built up was in favor of a stronger legislative. But under the influence of the EU accession process, a rise in the executive occurred shifting the real balance of powers from the legislative towards the executive, thus causing a decline of the legislative.
