Summary/Abstract: The principle of the rule of law is a fundamental element of the legal order of contemporary democracy. Even though it has been created on the basis of international treaties, the European Union is affirming as new type of organization of public authority, in whose legal system a series of manifestations of the rule of law find their expression. Through the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and through series of amendments of the Founding treaties, the principle of the rule of law turns into a state of constitutional character for the legal order of the EU, determining both the legality of the acts of the European institutions and the belonging of the member-states to the Union.
