Ustavno sodišče ni cilj, ampak sredstvo, ki ga moramo ustrezno razumeti, uporabljati in negovati. Ta apel po besedah predsednika Ustavnega sodišča Republike Slovenije v prvi vrsti velja za sodnike in druge sodne osebe Ustavnega sodišča, ki morajo svojo vlogo razumeti kot odgovornost, ne kot moč. Naslavlja pa tudi vse druge akterje pravnega reda: politični veji oblasti, da s svojim normativnim in proračunskim delovanjem ustvarjata ustrezne pogoje za delo Ustavnega sodišča; ter navsezadnje vsaj v določenem pogledu tudi vse predlagatelje in pritožnike, ki se s svojimi vlogami obračajo na Ustavno sodišče.

The Constitutional Court is not the end, but the means that we must properly understand, use and nurture. According to the President of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Slovenia, this call is primarily addressed at the judges and other judicial staff of the Constitutional Court, who must understand their role as one of responsibility, not power. However, it also addresses all other actors of the legal order: both of the political branches of government, so as to create the appropriate conditions for the work of the Constitutional Court through their normative and budgetary actions; as well as, at least in certain ways, all of the applicants and complainants who lodge their applications at the Constitutional Court.

Not the End, but the Means and the Pathway: Thirty Years of the Functioning of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Slovenia
