    REFERENDUM - PRINCIPAL WAY

    The referendum on changing the Constitution is declared by the President of
    the republic on the suggestion or with the consent of the majority of the
    parliament members. During 21 days after receiving the draft amendments the
    president can draw it back to the NA with the demand for new debates with
    his objections and proposals.

    The coalition draft suggests the following: `If the President initiates a
    referendum on draft constitutional amendments the NA puts the issue to vote.
    If the majority votes for the adoption the President set the terms for
    common referendum.'

    How should the Constitution be changed? We addressed 100 citizens with this
    question June 25-29. 48% consider that the constitutional amendments should
    be adopted via referendum. `Constitution is for people and it must be
    adopted and changed by the people', a man said.

    19% think that the amendments should be adopted with the suggestion of the
    NA and with the consent of 2/3 of the Constitutional Court members. In the
    opinion of 15% of the respondents the amendments should be inserted on the
    President's suggestion with the support of 2/3 deputies of the National
    Assembly.

    18% found difficulty in answering.
