The Supreme Court cannot either examine the legality of the decision, as no appeal against the decision has been lodged, Tripalo added.
Budisa has been serving a prison term of four years and 11 months in the central town of Gospic since last October. He received this sentence as the Split County Court found him guilty of the 1996 murder of Milenko Djekic.
The decision of judge Branko Milanovic to allow in late July Budisa to discontinue serving his sentence for a period of 32 days has elicited various comments in the media.
Justice Minister Ana Lovrin and the Supreme Court asked the Gospic County Court to brief them about Milanovic's decision.
The reports already arrived at the ministry and the Supreme Court.
Asked by reporters to comment on Judge Milanovic's decision, Justice Minister Ana Lovrin said in Split that in her personal opinion, such a decision should not have been made unless there had been strong reasons for it in light of the fact that this referred to a person who had been on the run and who was now at the beginning of his imprisonment.
This an individual decision by the judge ... and the law provides for possibilities for the home leave while serving a prison term in cases defined by the law and now we shall see whether in this case all the legal requirements have been met, the minister said.
