Summary/Abstract: This paper is dealing with a brief analysis of the formation of the constitutional status of the President of the Slovak Republic during the constitutional development of the Slovak Republic since 1993 to the present. The attention is paid to five issues, which in their entirety have formed the constitutional status of the head of the Slovak Republic. These issues are election of the President, powers of the President and the way in which these powers are performed, as well as the President’s responsibility for the performance of the office and deputizing for the presidential office. The analysis is completed on the occasion of the centennial anniversary of the Czechoslovak Republic and the first introduction of the institute of the President as Head of State by short comparison of the formation of the constitutional status of the President of the Slovak Republic with the first-Republic presidential model.
