motion to establish a commission which would decide on the

"However, we hold that such a commission should be established with

The commission would make such decisions at the suggestion of the
interior minister.
Two months ago Article 18 of the Law on Internal Affairs was
rescinded. The provision allowed the interior minister to decide on
who could be wire-tapped by secret services.
Adlesic could not answer a question whether residents were being
tapped during the 'legal silence' period, but stressed that the
question should be posed to Interior Minister Sime Lucin. Lucin has
reiterated several times he could not guarantee to citizens there
was no wire-tapping going on.
