Before the vote, MPs accepted a proposal by the Party of Rights (HSP) to conclude the 11th session tonight regardless of the fact that the parliament had not discussed all items on the agenda, and to postpone them for the next sitting.
Apart from HSP deputies, no other opposition MPs attended the session.
HSP leader Anto Djapic said that the absence of most opposition parties was intolerable and called on the ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) and its coalition partners to try to reach agreement with the opposition until the next session so that the current parliamentary crisis could be overcome.
If no compromise is reached until the end of the presidential campaign, the HSP too will not participate in the voting, Djapic said.
The parliament passed the Maritime Code under which permits for foreign vessels carrying nuclear weapons to enter the Croatian Adriatic would be given by the government and not the defence minister, with previous approval by the National Agency for Atomic Energy.
The Sabor also adopted the Law on Public Roads under which concessions for highways and some facilities on state roads, such as tunnels, will be granted exclusively through public bidding. Concessions covering periods of time of up to 33 years will be granted by the government and those covering longer periods of time will be awarded by the parliament.
The MPs adopted the Law on the Classification of Unprocessed Wood, which adjusts the classification, sale and export of unprocessed wood to EU standards.
The parliament granted consent to ratify a programme for the dismantling of the Croatian-Slovene nuclear power plant Krsko and the storage of radioactive waste and used-up nuclear fuel.
The MPs sent into the second reading bills on compulsory relations and civil service and gave the commission of enquiry for the Viktor Lenac shipyard another month and a half to investigate the circumstances under which government guarantees were given to the shipyard's creditors.
By the time a bill on hunting was put to vote, there was no quorum in the parliament so MPs failed to vote on that bill, and on the HSP-sponsored proposals that Croatia walk out of the Druzba Adria project and establish a commission to investigate the leaking of transcripts from the President's Office, as well as on amendments to the Law on Political Parties under which budgetary funds intended for political parties would also be granted to independent deputies and minority MPs.
Milorad Pupovac of the Independent Democratic Serb Party (SDSS), who during a previous debate opposed the amendments, said that SDSS deputies had not been consulted with regard to the amendments and that they would not participate in the voting if the vote on the amendments was not postponed.
