The ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) disagreed with the proposal, arguing that Kopacki Rit was appropriately protected as a nature park. The HDZ criticised the SDP for failing to provide professional arguments to support its proposal.
All parliamentary parties agreed that it was necessary to carry out a professional, scientific and economic analysis of the situation in Kopacki Rit in order to establish whether it needed additional protection.
The Parliament will resume its session tomorrow.
