Paragraph 57
 

This weakened position of the Constitutional Chamber is also reflected in the new paragraphs 8 to 10 of Article 97, which grant the President and the Jogorku Kenesh key roles in constitutional review proceedings. In particular, the new procedure foresees that any decision taken by the Constitutional Chamber on the unconstitutionality of a law shall primarily constitute a “preliminary conclusion”, which is to be sent to the President and to the Jogorku Kenesh for their consideration within a three-month period.
