CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGES: NEW LEAF FOR CROATIAN CITIZENS - ARLOVIC
ZAGREB, Oct 6 (Hina) - "Constitutional changes are turning over a
new leaf for all citizens of Croatia," Parliament deputy speaker
Mato Arlovic said before the House of Representatives on Friday,
speaking about the motioned draft amendments to the Constitution as
submitted by the Committee for the Constitution, Rule Book and
Political System.
Arlovic recalled the achieved consensus that the current
Constitution did not have to be changed in its basis, but amended.
It is important to achieve a high degree of coherency and clear
relations among various parts of authority -- especially in the
relations between the President and legislature.
The most significant constitutional change in this sense is the
transformation of the semi-presidential system into a
parliamentary one, he stressed.
Arlovic added that in adopting the Constitution in 1990, the
current Constitution was the most important means for a legal and
legitimate implementation of the will of Croatian citizens to
execute their historic and constitutional right at the time, to opt
for secession.
"Those who participated in the drafting of that Constitution can be
proud," Arlovic stressed.
