Abstract
Every democratic state introduces in its legal system explicit guarantees for the effective functioning of the three types of state power: legislative, executive, and judicial. One such guarantee with regard to the legislature is the immunity of Members of Parliament (MPs). The exceptional importance of this legal institution has been recognized for decades in both the international legal doctrine and in the laws of individual countries. This type of immunity is the guarantee that the state provides to MPs in order for them to fully realize their basic rights and to fulfill their basic obligations. This type of immunity is also a guarantee for the citizens who, by electing the MPs, assign them the authority to protect their basic civil rights and freedoms. Therefore, the immunity of MPs is regulated at the constitutional level, and all issues related to its legal regulation and improvement are always the subject of broad parliamentary, public, and scientific debates. This report presents a brief analysis of the immunity of MPs in the Republic of Albania and in the Republic of Bulgaria.
