Vladimir Seks said on Wednesday.#L#
Seks spoke to reporters after a meeting of parliament's leadership,
the chairpersons of the clubs of deputies, Prime Minister Ivo Sanader
and Justice Minister Vesna Skare-Ozbolt.
The announced discussion is expected to be based on conclusions to be
drawn up by a task force comprised of representatives of all deputies'
clubs, Seks said.
He added that everyone at today's meeting had shown a high degree of
responsibility as to the setting of the discussion's date and agreed
that it should not take place before the Hague tribunal held a status
conference on the possibility of generals Mladen Markac and Ivan
Cermak being released pending trial.
Seks confirmed that in choosing the discussion date the participants
in today's meeting had taken into account the fact that Croatia
expected the European Commission's opinion on its European Union
membership application next month.
Seks added there had been no official information about new
indictments from The Hague today.
