In the context of constitutional relations of the state and church, in the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court the notion of "secularity of the state" has been mentioned only for a few times. In the official constitutional doctrine, the constitutional principle of secularity of state and local government establishments of teaching and education is formulated expressis verbis, meanwhile, the meaning of secularity of the state has not yet been revealed and interpreted so many times that one could talk about the notion of secularity of the state as a notion of jurisprudential constitution, therefore, in the future, its meaning should be gradually revealed in the Constitutional Court doctrine. JS In the provisions of the Constitution of 25 October 1992, one may recognize the reaction of th fathers of the Constitution towards the negative consequences of religious prohibitions and world-view regulation of the occupational period.
