The public interest in the instant case is the allocation of the construction land to the citizens to complete the construction work, more precisely a construction of a residential building.

A legal regulation of a public transportation is indisputably in the public interest. The state has a certain margin of appreciation in creating a framework and organization of a public transportation – such as the right to impose fines – in order to provide the compliance with the legal requirements and the manner of performing the public transportation.

In that case, the Constitutional Court accepts that the prevention of violation of the requirements prescribed by the law and the manner of public transportation of persons and objects in the public transportation represents a legitimate aim in the public interest.

Stipulation of Article 17 of the Agreement on Mutual Rights and Obligations in Applying Pension and Disability Insurance had not a legitimate aim in the public interest whereas the failure to comply with the time limit of six months to file a request for acquisition of the pension amounts to the loss of that right and therefore the interference with the appellant’s right to property under Article II(3)(k) of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the European Convention was not justified and amounted to the violation of the appellant’s right. Taking into account that the application of Article 17 of the Agreement amounted to the interference with the appellant’s right to property, the administrative authorities and the ordinary courts, taking into account the priority of the European Convention provided for by Article II(2) of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the right to property, should have applied the provisions according to which the right to pension cannot be barred by the statute of limitations.
