The pieces of paper read that each MP in the Sabor hall votes verbally whenever a club of MPs sponsoring a bill requests it.
Although opposition MPs were absent, it was established that there was a quorum in the hall necessary to vote on 33 previously discussed bills.
Sabor vice president Luka Bebic, who is a senior official of the ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), then asked Sabor President Vladimir Seks to take measures against deputies who were boycotting the voting. Seks, however, said he had no powers to do that.
The Croatian public is monitoring and will monitor the parliament and it will see if MPs are fulfilling their obligations, Seks said, adding that he had no possibility to launch procedures against absent deputies but that MPs were bound by the oath given at the start of the term when they pledged to work in compliance with the Constitution and law.
Earlier today, the parliament endorsed the final bill on the insurance of deposits regulating the state's obligation to ensure the safety of deposits on savings books. However, the bill does not bind the state to ensure deposits on current and giro accounts worth up to 100,000 kuna.
MPs supported amendments to the law on state auditing, which stipulate that the State Auditor's Office will be authorised to check funds which arrive in Croatia from the European Union and other international institutions.
