Restrictions Imposed on Holding a Republican Referendum

(1) A republican referendum may not be held if the country is under a state of war, siege or emergency, nor within 120 days after the respective state has ended.

If a date for a referendum coincides with a day declared later as a date of war, siege or emergency state, then the referendum shall be de jure cancelled or postponed, pursuant to the terms of holding referendum stipulated by this Code. The decision to postpone a republican referendum shall be adopted by the body which issued the decision to hold the referendum.

(2) A republican referendum may also not be held in a period within 60 days before or after the day of parliamentary, presidential, or local general elections, as well as on the day of another republican referendum.
