In this context, Croatian MPs warned that the country's authorities were doing almost nothing to counter corruption.
The clubs said that if the struggle against corruption were reduced to the adoption of laws and international conventions, this would not contribute to an effective clamp-down on what they called an open sore on Croatia's society.
The Sabor today discussed a motion for the ratification of a protocol on amendments to the European Convention on the Suppression of Terrorism.
In this context, many deputies branded the recent frequent destruction of monuments in memory of anti-Fascist fighters as acts of terrorism.
Damir Kajin of the Istrian Democratic Party (DS) said that until the end of 1999, some 3,000 monuments were destroyed in blasts, adding that such occurrences should be treated as terrorist acts aimed against the state.
Frano Piplovic of the Democratic Centre (DC) agreed with Kajin and urged the authorities to ask themselves why explosive devices had been set under such monuments on Christian holidays. In this context, he recalled that the monument erected to Josip Broz Tito in his home town of Kumrovec was blown in an explosion at Christmas, while the latest incident on the island of Murter, when the monument in tribute to anti-Fascist fighters was damaged, happened at Easter.
Later on Wednesday, the parliament discussed whether Croatia needed an agribank that would finance family-run farms.
Discussing draft amendments to the farmland act, several clubs of opposition parties agreed that it was necessary for the country to establish an agribank.
The clubs of deputies of the IDS, the Croatian Peasant Party (HSS) and the Croatian Party of Rights (HSP) supported draft amendments aimed at merging small farms, activating the agricultural land market and reducing the imports of agricultural produce and food.
Kajin of the IDS, however, warned that the state should prevent foreigners from buying Croatia's arable land.
He also warned about the possible urbanisation of arable land.
The state secretary at the Agriculture and Forestry Ministry, Dragan Kovacevic, said that the problems in relation to who can lease and cultivate arable land had become a bottleneck of agricultural development.
Clubs of deputies agreed that it was necessary to shorten time terms in which local authorities can decide who can lease state-owned arable land.
The government-sponsored draft amendments to the farmland act were sent into urgent procedure.
