CONSTITUTIONAL COURT OVERRULES GOVT DECISION ON ZAGREB CITY COUNCI

COUNCI $ L ZAGREB, May 10 (Hina) - The Croatian Constitutional Court on Friday overruled the Government decision of April 30 to dissolve the Zagreb City Council and appoint a commissioner for the city. The ruling was passed after the Court considered a constitutional action against the Government decision instituted by the president of the dissolved City Council, Zdravko Tomac of the opposition Social Democratic Party. In a detailed explanation of its ruling, the Court said that the Government's decision did not have foundation in legislation and that the Government acted outside the jurisdiction given to it by a special law. The Constitutional Court session involved ten judges of whom only one, Milan Vukovic, voted against the upholding of the constitutional action. (hina) vm 101841 MET may 96
