TOMCIC: DECISION ON BINDING GOVT. TO PRODUCE DOCUMENTS IS LEGAL

ZAGREB, Oct 20 (Hina) - The Croatian Peasant Party (HSS) leader and president of the Croatian parliament which was dissolved on Friday has expressed confidence that the Sabor made a good and legal decision when it bound the government to produce all documentation necessary for the defence of all suspects or defendants of the Hague-based UN war crimes tribunal, including the fugitive Croatian general Ante Gotovina, accused by the tribunal.
ZAGREB, Oct 20 (Hina) - The Croatian Peasant Party (HSS) leader and president of the Croatian parliament which was dissolved on Friday has expressed confidence that the Sabor made a good and legal decision when it bound the government to produce all documentation necessary for the defence of all suspects or defendants of the Hague-based UN war crimes tribunal, including the fugitive Croatian general Ante Gotovina, accused by the tribunal. #L# "If the Croatian government produces some documents to the Hague- based tribunal, then it is ethically and morally correct to make it possible for the defendant to receive the same material, regardless of the specific situation of Gen. Gotovina who is not available to the court," Zlatko Tomcic said on Monday. "The parliament is not infallible. If it happens that MPs make a decision which is not in compliance with law, the Constitutional Court should make a ruling on the matter. I see no reason for tendering resignations," Tomcic said. Commenting on the work of the dissolved parliament, he said he was satisfied with the volume of the job it had done, but he described the bad atmosphere and lack of quorum as negative. He cautioned that the next head of parliament would face the same problem unless he or she was given greater powers which would enable them to direct and co-ordinate the work of MPs in a more efficient manner. Greater powers should be granted to the Sabor President also in relations with the government, Tomcic said but stressed that he did not mean changes which would entail amending the Constitution. The HSS chief went on to say that the Sabor could not efficiently control the functioning of the executive authority and that it had not been autonomous in its work. Tomcic complained that the parliament was actually "beheaded without anybody to represent it in the political sense". Asked whether he would again be nominated for the parliament's head, he resolutely ruled out that possibility. (hina) ms sb
