    The aim of the paper is to generalize the well-known fact that any quasi-homogeneous normal complex surface singularity with \(\mathbb Q\)-homology sphere link has as the universal Abelian cover a Brieskorn complete intersection singularity [cf. \textit{W. D. Neumann}, Proc. Symp. Pure Math. 40, Part 2, 233--243 (1983; Zbl 0519.32010)]. More exactly, the authors prove a similar result for splice-quotient singularities, which are normal surface singularities with \(\mathbb Q\)-homology sphere links, and splice type singularities, which generalize Brieskorn complete intersections. The proof is based on detail analysis of systems of equations described in terms of splice diagrams, of the resolution dual graphs with their discriminant groups and some special congruence conditions. In conclusion, the authors discuss their conjecture that rational singularities and minimally elliptic singularities with \(\mathbb Q\)-homology sphere links are splice-quotients and also remark that T. Okuma has recently proved it.
