“The Constitutional Court concludes that EU Member States can independently decide on the entry, stay and expulsion of foreign nationals. However, not only the provisions of the Constitution must be respected when standardising and deciding on measures that may restrict the movement of applicants for international protection and foreign nationals in transfer, but also other EU documents which themselves stipulate that decisions on the restriction of movement can be made by administrative or judicial bodies. However, in order to protect the right to liberty guaranteed by the Constitution, the Convention and the Charter it is important that the restriction of liberty only takes place based on exhaustively listed grounds prescribed by law.” “The Constitutional Court emphasizes that, according to the general principle of interpretation, the provisions of legal regulations must, as far as possible, be interpreted in such a way as not to bring prejudice to their validity and compliance with the provisions of the Constitution or, in areas of EU regulatory competence, also with the provisions of the Charter.” “However, in accordance with Article 52 (1) of the Charter and Article 16 of the Constitution, any restriction to the exercise of recognized rights and freedoms must be provided by law and must not undermine the essence of those rights. Subject to the principle of proportionality, restrictions are possible only if they are necessary and if they actually correspond to the objectives of general interest recognized by the constitutional order of the Republic of Croatia or the EU or the need to protect the rights and freedoms of others.”
