Court Jadranko Crnic on Monday received a delegation of the Turkish
Constitutional Court. #L#
Crnic stressed the long-standing successful cooperation
between the two courts, the efforts of which are aimed at
establishing the rule of law and legal safety of citizens.
The main task of the Croatian Constitutional Court is control
over constitutionality. Anyone, regardless of legal interest, can
propose that the Constitutional Court check whether a regulation is
in accordance with the Constitution, Crnic said.
Also, any citizen can file a constitutional complaint if he
thinks that his constitutional rights have been violated, he added.
The Turkish Constitutional Court, however, only follows
whether Turkish laws are adjusted to the Constitution, but not at
citizens' requests. It also controls the legality of work of high
Turkish officials.
