Forced Loyalty in Public Service
Review. The Article examines the prohibition imposed by the current legislation in relation to state and municipal officials preventing them from making public statements, judgments and evaluations concerning state authorities and their activities, their leaders and decisions of the higher state body, if it is not the part of their official duties. The Author scrutinizes the practical application of this prohibition and concludes that this prohibition is inconsistent with both the purpose of organization and functioning of public and municipal services and the principles of the state of the rule of law in general.
