Summary/Abstract: The obligation for Georgia to integrate into European and Euro Atlantic structures is imposed on constitutional bodies within their competences, according to Article 78 of the Constitution of Georgia. The Constitutional Court of Georgia plays a significant role in refining the criminal procedural legislation and aligning it with European standards. This paper focuses on this area, highlighting the key factors that make the Constitutional Court’s work particularly effective in interpreting individual provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code of Georgia in line with European standards, compared to other methods of improvement. The trends characteristic of the process of decision making regarding the constitutionality of various provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code of Georgia by the Constitutional Court have been analyzed and assessed, including the relevance of the issues considered, the dynamics of intensity, and the effective reflection of the judgments on the practice of common courts.
