Tokens: The
present
circumstances
clearly
indicate
that
the
domestic
legislature
used
a
form
of
words
which
,
read
in
isolation
,
would
have
amounted
to
a
legislative
error
,
in
view
of
the
legislature
’s
intent
when
it
was
in
the
process
of
reviewing
Article
53
§
2
(
2
)
.
No
one
can
reasonably
assume
that
a
legislator
would
decrease
the
maximum
sentence
that
had
already
been
determined
for
the
simple
reason
that
there
had
been
an
additional
conviction
to
which
the
rule
on
cumulative
sentencing
seemed
to
apply
.
Furthermore
,
given
the
surrounding
factual
circumstances
,
the
domestic
courts
’
interpretation
was
reasonable
when
they
concluded
that
the
Slovenian
legislature
had
quite
clearly
intended
to
maintain
the
maximum
sentence
for
combined
offences
at
thirty
years
.
The
drafting
revisions
that
were
made
in
the
1999
amendment
to
the
1994
Criminal
Code
further
illustrate
a
consistent
pattern
of
intent
on
the
part
of
the
legislature
to
maintain
the
maximum
sentence
for
serious
crimes
and
for
combined
sentences
at
thirty
years
,
when
a
prison
sentence
of
that
duration
had
been
determined
for
one
of
the
multiple
criminal
offences
.
