The proposal was backed by the ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), the Party of Rights (HSP), the HNS and the HSS, and opposed by the Social Democratic Party (SDP), the Istrian Democratic Party (IDS), the Social Liberal Party (HSLS) and the Democratic Centre (DC).
Cacic also supported the proposal, saying that he saw it as an opportunity to establish a standard under which it would also be possible to initiate investigations against state officials to check the origin of their property and whether they pay tax.
Deputies also discussed a proposal to establish another commission of inquiry to look into the circumstances under which a tender for the award of a licence to a third mobile phone operator was declared null and void. The tender was later repeated and the licence was awarded to a Croatian-Swedish consortium.
