Summary/Abstract: The opinion refers to the moment of the expiry of a mandate of a Deputy nominated for the position of an ambassador during the term. The function of an ambassador is incompatible with the Deputy’s mandate on the basis of Article 103 para. 1 of the Constitution. Importantly, the prohibition does not refer to taking the function and its actual performance, but to the change of a legal status of a person vested with the function. As regards the offices listed in the provision, Article 247 para. 1 item 6 of the Electoral Code shall be applied, which is the legal basis for ex lege expiry of a Deputy’s mandate. Against Article 103 para. 1 of the Constitution thus understood and the provisions of the Electoral Code, it is essential to specify the moment of entrusting the function, i.e. acquiring the status of an ambassador.
