Reafirmacija federativnog načela ustrojstva i funkcioniranja sistema
Reassertion of the Federal Principle in the Organisation and Operation of the System

Summary/Abstract: The prevailing constitutional system requires a thorough and critical analysis, all the more so as during its "rule" Yugoslav society has found itself in its greatest and most comprehensive crisis so far. Despite this, the dominant attitude in this country is that the Constitution must not be questioned. There are two main reasons for this oversensitivity with regard to "interfering with the system": institutionalisation and absolutisation of particular interests and the fear of change. They first swept across the republican and provincial forums, and then spread to all other social levels. The author does not believe that the current problems can be resolved by restoring sovereignty to the federal state. Instead, this can be achieved by reasserting the federal principle in the organisation and operation of our political community, a principle that has been substantially suspended — both through the system and in practice.
