Budući da su se pojavile različite interpretacije vezane uz ratifikaciju međunarodnog ugovora s Bosnom i Hercegovinom, smatram potrebnim pojasniti slijedeće. Čl. 8 Ustava RH propisuje da se granice Republike Hrvatske mogu mijenjati samo odlukom Hrvatskog sabora, a članak 83(3) propisuje da Sabor tu odluku donosi dvotrećinskom većinom.

Summary
The main proposition of this paper is that
Croatian legal framework for higher education fails to meet criteria of the
internal market of the EU. In the first part author draws distinction between
education as public good and education as service, and explains how EU law
affects regulatory autonomy of the Member States in area of higher education.

As reported by Novi list, Croatian government is considering a constitutional amendment in order to restrict the right to restitution of property only to Croatian nationals. The proposed measure appears to be a prima facie discrimination on grounds of nationality contrary to Art. 18 of the TFEU. It also appears to run against what the CJEU said in Tas-Hagen and Tas §§ 29 to 37.
