Abstract

ln this paper, whlch belongs to the area of comparative constitutional
law studies, the author presents the experience of two foreign courts whose
competence includes the control of the compatibility of laws with the
constitution. The examples concern the constitutional right to freedom of
the press. ln the course of the pratice of the Supreme Court of the United
States of America and of the Constitutional Council in France the
constitutional stipulation concerning the freedom of the press provokes one
of the liveliest controversies in the public life those parts. The "dictum"
of the decisions concerning the freedom of the press represents by itself
a living source of contemporary understanding and action within this
significant and complex consritutional law. While tasking into consideration

the Republic of Croatia, the author asks in what direction will the
Constitutional court of Croatia turn should the circumstances put it into
the position of having to answer a question concerning the freedom of the
press.
