Summary/Abstract: The book ‘Turnovo Constitution in the light of the Balkan Constitutionalism of the XIX century‘presents a detailed history of constitutions and constitution projects in the Balkan region in 19th century arguing that this development was not later than in the other Euro-pean countries. The focus of the research is the Bulgarian Turnovo constitution (1879) which is compared to the constitutions of the other Balkan states in 19th century: Greece, Serbia, Romania, Ottoman Empire, in their historical origins and important constitutional norms. The author successfuly overcomes the national framework of research and outlines the positive achievements in constitutional history of the Balkan states.
