Adriatic Sea. #L#
The parliament adopted a slightly changed proposal of the
government that this model should be used to expand Croatia's
jurisdiction in the Adriatic.
The government-sponsored motion was slightly altered by amendments
tabled by the Croatian Peasant Party (HSS).
This party eventually abandoned its earlier demand that an
exclusive economic zone be proclaimed, and agreed that in the text
of the government's decision to expand the jurisdiction the word
"contents" should replace the word "functions" of the economic
zone.
Seventy MPs from ruling coalition parties voted in favour of the
decision, while 44 opposition MPs were against it.
