    Abstract

    Traditionally, national mourning is introduced to commemorate persons who have
    rendered outstanding services to the nation. However, over the past several years, mourning
    has also been announced in connection with various tragic events. This indicates an evolution
    of the institution and it may also raise concerns about its abuse and depreciation. The
    law refers to national mourning in a very general way, hence it is the practice that tries
    to fill in the void and eliminate deficiencies in the legislation. This leads to situations in
    which administrative bodies take actions which they have not been empowered to. A special
    problem is the delimitation between the act of introducing mourning and the act of
    suspending the organisation of entertainment events during its duration.
