A Parliamentary, Presidential, or Governmental State?

Temeljna je postavka ove rasprave da se u Hrvatskoj nakon prvih kompetitivnih izbora 1990. razvijao poseban tip države koji je objedinjavao elemente parlamentarne, predsjedničke i vladine države. Ona se zasniva na uvidu da su se pravno-politički uspostavila tri "težišta" i oblika očitovanja političke volje. Politička volja tako se izražavala u Saboru u obliku parlamentarnih zakona, u Predsjedniku Republike u obliku uredaba sa zakonskom snagom i u Vladi u obliku uredaba sa zakonskom snagom na temelju zakonskih ovlasti parlamenta. Društveni su život uređivala tri zakonodavca pomoću zakona i zakonskih mjera. Ako se takvo stanje može pripisati, prije svega, izvanrednim okolnostima u državi to će ublažavanje ili iščezavanje izvanrednih okolnosti ipak ostaviti otvorenim odnos između parlamentarizma i prezidencijalizma u Hrvatskoj.Basically, this treatise argues that after the first competetive elections in 1990 a new type of state has been developing in Croatia which unites elements of a parliamentary, presidential, and a governmental state. This idea is founded upon the insight that three centers of gravity and three forms of political will have been established in a legal and political sense. Political will has been expressed by the Sabor in the form of parliamentary laws, by the President of the Republic in the forms of regulations with legal power, and by the Government in the form of regulations with legal power sanctioned by the legal authority of the parliament. Social living has been administered by three legislators through laws and legal measures. This state of affairs is primarily seen as due to the extraordinary circumstances in the country, yet when these extraordinary circumstances loose their intensity or dissapear the relationship between parliamentarism and presidentialism in Croatia will still remain an open question
