Summary/Abstract: The recent turmoil in the European constitutional space, caused by some decisions of the constitutional courts and the CJEU that have brought up again the juxtaposition of the final authority conflicting claims between these courts, and with it the debate over supremacy versus EU law, with all its consequences hence, they determined us to turn our attention to an institutional actor that influences, more or less visibly, constitutionalism in the EU, and which must also be included in the equation of these events: the Venice Commission. In this light, the study presents the landmarks of the emergence, development, increasing influence of the Venice Commission in the European space and the real ways in which it has exercised and still exercises a strong influence on the constitutional development and standardization of law in this space.
