HSP and HDSSB demand new decision on Glavas's detention

ZAGREB, April 19 (Hina) - The chairmen of the Credentials and Privileges Commission (MIP) and the Committee on the Constitution and the Standing Orders on Thursday informed members of Parliament of the conclusions of their meeting on Wednesday, which found that there was no need for the Parliament to decide again on approving detention for independent MP Branimir Glavas, who has been indicted for war crimes against civilians in the eastern city of Osijek in the early 1990s.
ZAGREB, April 19 (Hina) - The chairmen of the Credentials and Privileges Commission (MIP) and the Committee on the Constitution and the Standing Orders on Thursday informed members of Parliament of the conclusions of their meeting on Wednesday, which found that there was no need for the Parliament to decide again on approving detention for independent MP Branimir Glavas, who has been indicted for war crimes against civilians in the eastern city of Osijek in the early 1990s.

Their report had been requested by the Croatian Democratic Party of Slavonia and Baranja (HDSSB) and the Croatian Party of Rights (HSP).

Vladimir Sisljagic of the HDSSB called on Parliament Speaker Vladimir Seks to demand that Glavas, who has been in prison in Osijek for three days now, be released until the Parliament decided on approval for his detention.

HSP deputy Pero Kovacevic said that the Parliament should review the MIP's decision of October 23 last year authorising Glavas's detention, and that this decision should also be considered by the Constitutional Court.

Kovacevic believes that the decision is against the Constitution because the detention order was issued by the prosecution and not by the court or a panel of judges.

Although the chairmen of the MIP and the Constitution Committee, Damir Sesvecan and Drazen Bosnjakovic, assessed that there was no reason for the Parliament to open a debate on Glavas's detention, because the MIP's decision was in effect, Seks opened the discussion.

Only deputies of the HDSSB, the HSP and the Istrian Democratic Party (IDS) took part in the debate.

In concluding the debate, Seks said that the conclusions of the MIP and the Constitution Committee would be put to the vote on Friday. Responding to the HSP's request that the MIP's decision of last year should be sent to the Constitutional Court for review, Seks said that the Parliament did not have such powers, adding that this initiative had already been launched by Glavas's lawyers.
