(No) justification of limitations and prohibitions crossing border crossings under the influence of the pandemic Covid-19

Uvažavajući činjenicu da su ljudska prava i slobode u najvećoj opasnosti upravo za trajanja kriznih (izvanrednih) situacija, uočavamo da su se mjere izrečene za vrijeme pandemije ponajviše odnosile i utjecale na slobodu kretanja. U radu se ukratko propitkuje, kroz ustavnopravne uvjete postavljene u ustavnim člancima, o utjecaju pandemije na ograničavanje slobode kretanja. Nadalje, s upravnopravnog aspekta preispituju se određena postupanja i odluke imenovanog stručnog tijela Stožera, samo u pogledu zabrana i ograničenja koja se odnose na prelaske graničnih prijelaza, a u cilju sprečavanja širenja bolesti COVID-19. Primjenom normativne analize, pozornost se posvećuje važećem zakonskom okviru postavljenom u Zakonu o sustavu civilne zaštite i Zakonu o zaštiti pučanstva od zaraznih bolesti koji se odnosi na ovlasti Stožera i izricanje prije svega sigurnosnih mjera u pogledu zabrana i ograničenja prelazaka graničnih prijelaza. Kratko se daje osvrt na odabranu ustavnosudsku praksu, tzv. „COVID-predmete“, te ističu određeni ustavnopravni argumenti. Završno se navode kritička promišljanja i iznose zaključci o odabranoj problematici.Acknowledging the fact that human rights and freedoms are in the greatest danger precisely during crisis (emergency) situations, it has been noted that the measures imposed during the pandemic mostly relate to and affect the freedom of movement. The paper briefly examines the impact of the pandemic on the restriction of freedom of movement through the constitutional and legal conditions set in the constitutional articles. Furthermore, certain actions and decisions of the appointed expert body - Headquarters are being reviewed from the administrative-legal aspect, only with regard to prohibitions and restrictions related to cross-border movements with the aim of preventing the spread of the COVID-19 disease. By applying the normative analysis, attention is paid to the current legal framework established in the Civil Protection System Act and the Public Protection Against Infectious Diseases Act, which both relate to the authority of the Headquarters and the imposition, above all, of security measures regarding prohibitions and restrictions on crossborder movements. A brief overview of the selected constitutional-judicial practice, the so-called “The COVID-19 cases”, is highlighted by certain constitutional and legal arguments. Conclusively, critical considerations and conclusions are presented on the selected issue
