Overview

SI-IZB-002 ZUSDDD-A original IZBRISANI restoration (1999, capped 59/229 success). Layer 1. ZUSDDD original Ur.l. RS 61/1999 of 1999-07-30 enacted in response to U-I-284/94 (1999-02-04 IZBRISANI predecessor ). 59 of 229 first-wave applicants successful = 25.8% success rate. Required 3-month application window. Failed retroactivity led to U-I-295/99-13 (2000-05-18) annulment.

Legal basis

Temporal validity anchors for SI-IZB-002: ZUSDDD-A in force 1999-07-30 (Ur.l. RS 61/1999) → de facto superseded 2010-07-24 by ZUSDDD-B (Ur.l. RS 76/2010). The original three-month application window expired 1999-10-30 and was later reopened by U-I-246/02 (2003-04-03). Layer 2 disposition figures (229 applications → 59 permits / 83 rejections / 87 pending) are reported as of 2012-03-28 per Kurić Grand Chamber implementation tracking (derivative context).

  3. — ZUSDDD original (Uradni list RS 61/1999 of 1999-07-30) — primary anchor for Layer 2.

  5. — ZUSDDD Article 1 (covered-class definition; primary anchor per route manifest).
  6. — ZUSDDD-B mechanisms (post-2010); cross-referenced for Layer-3 contrast.
