Constitutional Court to decide on constitutionality of referendum decision on September 19

At a scheduled session starting at 9.30 am next week, September 19th, Judges from the Constitutional Court will review initiatives for assessing the constitutionality and legality of the decision for announcing the referendum adopted by Parliament on July 30th this year.

Nine constitutional judges are expected to decide whether to initiate a procedure for assessing the constitutionality of the decision on a referendum passed by Parliament, after which if accepted, goes to the polls.

If the Constitutional Court accepts the initiatives, it can annul the decision which called for the referendum immediately or adopt a temporary measure until a decision is made, therefore suspending all individual acts and acts with an aim, in order to prevent any harmful consequences to the Budget and taxpayers, as well as the rights, freedoms and the internal legal order of the country.
