8-5

Constitutional Court has just issued its verdict. Just as predicted, law that banned shops from being open on Sundays is struck down with 8 judges for and 5 against the decision.

This is another great victory for common sense and, more importantly, victory for the cause of secularism in Croatia.

Imagine Croatia having population with equal shares of Catholics, Orthodox Jews and Muslims. And imagine someone proposing the same kind of legislation and forcing people to invade shops only four out of seven days a week.
