years earlier, word for word. I guess, they forgot they already
issued it.

Self- Government, kl. UP/I-017-01/02-01/0033,urbr.
514-09-01-03-3, approves the decision. It may be interesting to
mention that the acts of Ministry for Ružic and Pirovac are dated on the same day.
Presumably these decisions are made in "batches" when
the appropriate commission have sessions.
The second decision above has not been issued previously although
it was adopted on the same day two years previously.
