The proposal to unfold the referendum for the revision of the Constitution shall be submitted to the Constitutional Court, which shall perform the constitutionality review of the issues to be subjected to the referendum and shall give its notice on it.



After the Constitutional Court has performed the constitutionality review of the issues to be subjected to the referendum, the proposal to unfold the referendum together with the Constitutional Court’s notice shall be submitted to the Parliament for consideration.
