SERB COUNCIL UNHAPPY WITH PARLIAMENT'S DECISION ON MINORITIES' VOTE

ZAGREB, Oct 17 (Hina) - The Serb People's Council (SNV) is unhappy with the Croatian parliament's decision of Thursday that ethnic minorities do not have double voting rights, SNV president Milorad Pupovac said on Friday, adding that the SNV would refer to the Constitutional Court. #L# Parliament and its committees did not clarify the dilemmas concerning the right that ethnic minorities are entitled to, Pupovac said, adding that parliament had only made things even more confusing and created conditions for an irregular parliamentary election, due next month. He said yesterday's decision was a form of political agreement between Mate Arlovic and Vladimir Seks. The Election Law stipulates how national minorities vote and the SNV maintains that under said law they are entitled to double voting rights, Pupovac said. (hina) ha sb
