Abstract

Authentic interpretation of laws is an interpretation of legal provisions that, due to their lack of clarity or misinterpretation in their application, is provided by the parliament. Unlike the legislative procedure, which is conducted, as a rule, in two (exceptionally three) readings, a proposal for giving an authentic interpretation is discussed in one reading. Starting from the understandings of some authors that the act of authentic interpretation of laws is contrary to the principle of democratic pluralism, and that it lacks the necessary level of democratic control and citizen participation, the author examines whether the Croatian parliamentary law enables public participation in the procedure for authentic interpretation of laws and, if so, what legal instruments can be used to implement it in parliamentary practice. To this end, the paper analyzes several relevant constitutional, legal, and procedural provisions of the Croatian parliamentary law, with reference to a parliamentary practice. Given the fact that the procedure for authentic interpretation in the Republic of Croatia, the Republic of North Macedonia, the Republic of Slovenia and the Republic of Serbia is regulated in a similar way by the rules of procedure of their respective parliaments, the relevant regulations of the latter three countries on the possibility of public participation in this procedure are analyzed as well. It was concluded that Croatian parliamentary law enables public participation in the procedure for authentic interpretation, through the instru* Gordan Struić, M.A., University Specialist in Comparative Politics, and PhD Candidate at the Faculty of Political Science, University of Zagreb, Republic of Croatia; Advisor in the Office of the President of the Croatian Parliament (Speaker’s Office); correspondence address: Trg. sv.

法律真实解释程序中的公众参与问题
法律的真正解释是对法律条款的解释,由于其在应用中缺乏明确性或误解,由议会提供。与立法程序不同的是,立法程序通常在两篇(例外情况是三篇)阅读中进行,而提出真实解释的建议则在一篇阅读中进行讨论。一些作者认为,真正解释法律的行为违反民主多元主义原则,缺乏必要的民主控制和公民参与,作者从这一理解出发,审查了克罗地亚议会法是否允许公众参与真正解释法律的程序,如果是这样,在议会实践中可以使用哪些法律文书来执行法律。为此,本文参照议会实践,分析了克罗地亚议会法的几项有关宪法、法律和程序规定。鉴于克罗地亚共和国、北马其顿共和国、斯洛文尼亚共和国和塞尔维亚共和国的真实口译程序由其各自议会的议事规则以类似的方式加以规定,本文还分析了后三个国家关于公众参与这一程序的可能性的有关条例。得出的结论是,克罗地亚议会法允许公众通过导师Gordan strui奇(克罗地亚共和国萨格勒布大学比较政治学专业硕士、政治学学院博士候选人)参与真正的口译程序;克罗地亚议会主席办公室(议长办公室)顾问;通讯地址:Trg。sv。克罗地亚共和国萨格勒布10000 Marka 6;电子邮件:云。struic@gmail.com;http://orcid.org/0000 - 0001 - 6528 - 4436。
