    POLAND'S MODEL THE BEST

    Semi-presidential system of state government supposes that the government
    should enlist the trust of the parliamentary majority. Consequently the
    parliament should take part in formation of the government to efficiently
    apply domestic and foreign policy', special of constitution right Vardan
    Poghosyan says. In the states of Eastern Europe the parliament is given a
    particular role in the formation of the government. In Slovenia, Bulgaria,
    Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro the Prime Minister and Ministers are
    elected by the parliament. Another model is applied Romania and Croatia. In
    these states the President proposes a nominee for the post of the Prime
    Minister after holding consultations with the parliamentary factions.

    In Romania the President proposes a candidature after consulting with the
    party possessing most seats in the parliament or in case there is not such,
    with all the parties presented in the parliament. If after the first
    nomination the parliament rejects the government program, the President is
    entitled to dissolve the parliament.

    In Lithuania the situation is a bit different. The parliament appoints the
    Premier and confirms the government program. If after the submission of the
    program the Seimas does not issue and decree during 30 days or the
    government program is not ratified twice in 60-day term the President can
    declare of extraordinary elections. The new Seimas with the support of 3/5
    votes can initiate extraordinary presidential election. The President is not
    empowered to dissolve the Seimas if the latter does not confirm the nominee
    for the post of Prime Minister. The constitutional and legislative power of
    Lithuania follows one simple principle - President should propose a nominee,
    who will receive support of the parliament. The Seimas can be dissolved only
    in case it fails to ratify the government program.

    Vardan Poghosyan considers that the Polish Constitution gives the most
    precise definition for the process of government formation. `If the Sejm
    does not ratify the candidature of the Prime Minister, who is appointed by
    the President, and the program submitted by him, the Sejm in entitled to
    dissolve the government. If the Sejm does not have the majority, the
    President appoint the government proposed by the `minority'. If the newly
    formed government received the vote of no confidence, the Sejm is subject to
    dissolution.

    On Vardan Poghosyan's opinion, the Polish model is the best one for Armenia,
    as it in the best way expresses the logic of the semi-presidential
    government system.
