Executive power is vested in the government. The government is elected by the Sobranie upon the proposal of the mandator who, proposing the composition of the government, also recommends a programme of work. The government determines policies for the implementation of legislation. It proposes laws, the budget of the republic and other general acts to the Sobranie and adopts decrees and other legal instruments necessary for the implementation of statutory legislation. In accordance with the constitution, the government decides on the recognition of states and governments, and on the establishment of diplomatic and consular relations with other states.
Courts exercise judiciary power.
According to the Law on Courts of 1995, there are 27 courts of the first instance, three courts of appeal, and a supreme court. There is also a constitutional court whose judges are elected by the Sobranie . The courts are autonomous and independent. Courts judge on the basis of the constitution and laws and international agreements ratified in accordance with the constitution. The types of courts, their spheres of competence, their establishment, abrogation, organisation and composition, as well as the procedure they follow are regulated by a law adopted by a majority vote of two-thirds of the total number of representatives.
