	CROATIA'S DEMOCRACY DEFICIT
		50 Croatia's record on guaranteeing the right of freedom of assembly is at best mixed, and serves to underscore the importance of Croatia's constitution and the role of the Constitutional Court in upholding it.
		The court ruled that the constitution did not grant local authorities the discretion to "regulate issues relating to the constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens, therefore, neither to pass regulations concerning the right to public assembly and peaceful protest."51 By its decision, the court also annulled the relevant provision of the Law on Public Assembly.
		The law also appears to be unconstitutional because the constitution, and the Constitutional Court's March 1999 ruling, state clearly that it cannot be left to the discretion of local authorities to determine where public gatherings can be held.
