QUESTIONS tO THE PARTIES 1.     Did the applicant have a fair hearing in the determination of the criminal charges against him, in accordance with Article 6 § 1 of the Convention?

Croatia , no. 20883/09, § 51, 13 December 2011)?   2.     Has there been a violation of the applicant’s rights under Articles   10 and   11 of the Convention on account of his criminal conviction on the basis of acts that allegedly fell within the ambit of those articles?   The Government are invited to submit copies of all the relevant documents concerning the applicant’s case, including but not limited to the minutes of all the hearings, documentary evidence against the applicant, and the written submissions of the applicant and his lawyer throughout the proceedings.
