Summary/Abstract: The аrticle examines the function of legal principles as a guarantee of legal certainty. Particular attention is paid to their role in lawmaking, interpretation of legal norms and overcoming gaps in the law. In these processes they ensure consistency and stability of the law by guiding the outcomes, thus preventing arbitrariness and directing them towards the path of development for the law they set. Their importance as a key factor for the sustainability of the legal system is underlined. The link between the rule of law and legal certainty plays a key role in the development and stability of the legal system. Legal certainty is a fundamental principle of the rule of law that guarantees the stability and predictability of the legal system. The goals of this principle could not be achieved without the indispensable and consistent role of legal principles. They act as a boundary in creating, interpreting and filling gaps in law, ensuring the results of them will be ones that are guaranteeing legal certainty.
