ZAGREB, May 4 (Hina) - The commission deciding on conflict on interest
on Tuesday made public declarations of assets submitted by members of
the Croatian Parliament.#L#
Mirko Filipovic, an independent MP elected on a Social Democratic
Party (SDP) list, and Miroslav Rozic of the Party of Rights (HSP) have
not yet sent a letter confirming whether or not they agree with their
declarations being made public, commission acting chairman Antun
Kapraljevic said.
Four other members of Parliament, Florijan Boras, Dujomir Marasovic
and Marko Turic of the ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) and
Zlatko Kramaric of the Liberal Party (LS) denied permission for their
declarations of assets to be made public.
Kapraljevic said that Marasovic had explained his decision by stating
that he would soon leave the Sabor.
Turic denied in a telephone interview he was against his declaration
being published, saying that he had submitted it as requested by the
parliamentary protocol and that it was not necessary to sign any
additional statements of approval.
"I agree that everything should be made public, especially after the
expiry of our four-year terms," Turic said.
Kramaric said his declaration of assets had been made public several
times and that there was nothing new in it, adding that he did not
want anyone having access to his privacy.
Kapraljevic said the commission had received 37 cases, including 13
reports and 24 requests for opinion. The first five requests for
opinion will be dealt with this week and the public will be promptly
informed, he said.
