Vladimíra Žofčinová
Central European Papers 2024, 12(2):27-41 | DOI: 10.25142/cep.2024.004

It points out the complexity of the mutual relations of the Labour Code as a lex generalis legal norm and special regulations that partially regulate individual labour law issues of elected officials, which causes opacity and variability in the interpretation...

Conversely, transparency in municipal enterprises and investments is closely related to economic outcomes. The findings...
