Abstract
The study deals with the negotiations during the final phase of the Council of Trent (1563). It points to important moments that led to the successful completion of council reforms and maps various problematic elements that the Council had to deal with.
The last part of the study is devoted to an overall evaluation of the Council from both historical and legal perspectives. It provides a comprehensive basis for understanding the origination and orien-tation of individual reform decrees, as well as the participation of the main actors in conciliar negotiations in their enforcement and subsequent implementation.
