Under the original terms of the 1990 Constitution, the Croatian Parliament was bicameral, comprising the directly elected Zastupnički Dom (Chamber of Deputies) and the Županijski Dom (Chamber of the Counties)^[1].

The Chamber of the Counties was abolished in 2001 with a formal constitutional amendment^[2] and the Chamber of Deputies is now known simply as the Sabor.
