Origin

2015 - Third part-session

In the draft resolution, paragraph 2.3.2, delete the following words:

"Communist era".

Explanatory note

It is extremely misleading to qualify the previous constitution as a Communist constitution. Practically all its provisions were altered in 1989 with the mere exception of those referring to the national flag and the capital of the country. The institutional setup as created in 1989-1990 was considered one of the most successful ones in the region.
