A class from St. Sofia Private School, led by judges Krasimir Vlahov and Prof. Atanas Semov, examined the institution
Seventh graders from the St. Sofia Private Primary School in the capital visited the Constitutional Court to learn how the institution works and what its place is in the structure of the state. The children, who had already had lessons on the Tarnovo Constitution, were welcomed by Constitutional Court judges Krasimir Vlahov and Prof. Atanas Semov.
Dressed in togas, the two showed them the large courtroom where the solemn ceremonies for the swearing-in of newly elected judges are held and where open sessions can be held. The judges also took the students to the conference room, where the Court's members gather around an oval table for their closed sessions.
Judge Vlahov and Judge Semov told the students about the most important aspects of the Constitution's content and significance. They also explained the differences between the Constitutional Court and the regular courts, so that the seventh graders would know that the Court is outside the judicial system.
The guests were also invited to the president's office and learned that this is where he puts his final signature on the acts of the Constitutional Court, which are final, and its decisions are binding on all state bodies, legal entities, and citizens.
