ZAGREB, March 31 (Hina) - Most opposition parties in the Croatian
parliament described as unnecessary today's discussion on a report on the
activities of Croatian Radio and Television (HRT), drawn up by an inspection
team, and expressed concern that the ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) had
ordered the inspection to get a grip over the public television network
because it was dissatisfied with its work. The findings of the
inspection show that there were no major breaches of labour rights.
Opposition MPs said that it was of minor importance to discuss
individual cases of violation of labour legislation and ongoing court
proceedings related to such cases, while some said that the parliamentary
discussion on the issue was an attempt by the HDZ to blackmail the HRT.
The HDZ club did not take part in the debate.
The Sabor wrapped up today's session with a debate about the
SDP-sponsored draft amendments to the Conflict of Interest Act.
The Social Democratic Party proposes that public officials should
declare not only their assets but also the way how they have acquired their
property.
The parliament resumes its session on Friday morning.
