Amendments to the Law on Referendum adopted

193 MPs voted for the adoption, i.e. all those who were present.

The law shall enter into force less than eight days from the day of its publication in the Official Gazette, by a special decision of the deputies. These amendments change several articles in relation to the recently adopted Law on Referendum and People's Initiative.

First, the fees for signature verification will be abolished, secondly, it will not be possible to call a referendum on the same issue in less than four years, and the parliament will not be able to make a decision different from the one confirmed in the referendum.

It is also possible for the representatives of the authorized proposers to be part of the body for conducting the referendum.
