The parliament resumed its session by voting on previously
discussed items.
Also adopted were amendments to the Law on Petty Offences, under
which only the chairmen of Petty Offence Councils will be required
to hold a law degree and pass the bar examination, while other
members of the council would not have to meet such requirements.
MPs adopted several reports, including a government's report on
measures taken to remove the causes of human rights violations as
noted in the Ombudsman's Report.
The parliament also bound the Constitution, Rule Book and Political
System Committee to propose amendments to the Law on the Ombudsman
within 90 days.
MPs were read an additional report by the Ombudsman for 2001, as
well as an annex to the State Audit Office report on the performed
audit of transformation and privatisation processes, a Croatian
National Bank report on the so-called management buy-out loans, and
a central bank's report on the supervision of banks in Croatia.
Adopted in the first reading were amendments to the Criminal
Procedure Act, which foresee penalties for the glorification of
fascist and Nazi symbols, and an asylum bill.
