CONSTITUTION $ AL COURT ZAGREB, Dec 27 (Hina) - The suspended president of the Croatian Supreme Court, Krunislav Olujic, filed a complaint to the Croatian Constitutional Court about the decision of the State Panel of Judges' Disciplinary Court to suspend him from the duty of president of the Supreme Court pending the completion of the disciplinary proceedings. Olujic also filed a complaint to the Constitutional Court about a decision of the Croatian Parliament House of Counties, which said that the exemption of members of the State Panel of Judges did not apply in the whole disciplinary action. Olujic also submitted a request to the Constitutional Court for a resolution of the conflict of authority which had come about, as he said, because the House of Counties had decided that it was not in its jurisdiction to solve requests for the exemption of the president and members of the Panel of Judges.
