ZAGREB, Dec 18 (Hina) - The Croatian Parliament House of
Representatives on Wednesday ended a discussion on amendments to
the Constitutional Law on the implementation of the Constitution of
Croatia, by which the deadline for conforming the law with the
Constitution would be extended to 31 December 1997.
The House will continue its extraordinary session on Thursday
when it will discuss the draft State Budget for 1997, which is in
its second reading. #L#
On adopting the Constitution on 22 December 1990, the
Parliament had introduced a provision by which laws had to be
conformed to the Constitution within a year, head of the government
Legislative Office, Marijan Prus, recalled.
"This is an extensive and demanding task, so the Parliament
had the deadline extended several times," Prus said, stressing that
the government had submitted more than 120 bills to the House of
Representatives last year alone.
However, he added, there still remained some two dozen spheres
in which laws had to be conformed to the Constitution.
So far, the Parliament has extended the deadline for
conforming laws with the Constitution four times.
