Paragraph 23
 

Article 20.3 prohibits the publication of “sociological research” (?) and public opinion polls’ results in the term of fifteen days before the referendum day. Apart from the fact that – as the experience in other countries shows - this rule is very difficult to be implemented (especially in the Internet era), its extent is very dubious (what does “sociological research exactly mean?) and the term seems clearly excessive.
