President plans another meeting with service heads, but Prime Minister must consent.
Meeting Announcement
President announces another meeting with heads of services. Will the Prime Minister give his consent?
Previous Meeting Complications
It’s hard for me to predict today. I remember what difficulties accompanied the first meeting.
Protocol Between President and Prime Minister
Instead of simply seeking the Prime Minister’s consent in writing by the head of the President’s chancellery, a huge controversy erupted.
The situation is clear: ministers and heads of services are subordinates of the Prime Minister. The elementary order of the state requires that the Prime Minister consent to such meetings.
The Prime Minister also does not invite officials of the President without his knowledge and consent.
