ZAGREB, Nov 8 (Hina) - The Croatian Constitutional Court at
Monday's session rejected a complaint filed by Croatian Social
Liberal Party MP Djurdja Adlesic to a decision of parliament's
House of Representatives on the election of Constitutional Court
judges.
The Court rejected Adlesic's complaint due to a "lack of active
legitimacy", the same reason given for the rejection of an
identical complaint filed by attorney Damir Marczius.
Adlesic stated in her complaint that Lower House MPs at a 22 October
session were denied the right to individually vote for every
Constitutional Court judge candidate, but voted together. This,
Adlesic pointed out, violated the constitutional principle which
determined Croatia as a democratic state.
The Constitutional Court responded that Adlesic was not authorised
to file the complaint because she had not participated in the
election of judges as a candidate judge, and because the voting did
not centre around a personal, direct, and legally founded interest
of hers.
Marczius in his complaint stated the election of Constitutional
Court judges was done illegally and contrary to the rules.
The Court said Marczius was not authorised to file such a
complaint.
Following a motion by the Italian Union from Rijeka, the
Constitutional Court evaluated the constitutionality and legality
of and entirely rescinded a Education and Sports Ministry decision
on the passing of plans and programmes for the organisation of
education in languages of national minorities or ethnic
communities.
The Constitutional Court also rescinded a decision by the same
ministry on modes of education and education programmes for high
school pupils of ethnic communities or national minorities, and
directions for the organisation of classes for such pupils.
