The institution of countersigning was adopted, inter alia, by the Constitution of Republic of Bulgaria. The theme of the research is focusing on the point if the President’s personal rights and responsibility and consequently his system position and responsibility, are strengthened, frequently in the manner that is irrelevant to the adopted system of government.
