TWO MPS QUARREL IN PARLIAMENT

ZAGREB, Nov 7 (Hina) - During Thursday's parliamentary debate on a report on the national drug prevention programme, an argument broke out between two MPs - Ljubo Cesic Rojs of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) and Jozo Rados of Libra.#L# Rojs reacted to a statement by Istrian Democratic Assembly (IDS) MP Damir Kajin, who said that "drug smuggling erupted during the war, and high ranking army and police officers were involved in it". Rojs asked that Kajin name these officers. Rojs claimed that intelligence services today were full of people linked to drug smuggling who "are a threat to national security, as is the recently launched action to arrest or kill General Ante Gotovina," a Hague war crimes tribunal indictee. Rados reacted to Rojs' claims, saying that his "mouth is full of Croatia and his pockets full of money". Rojs hurled several insults at Rados, calling him, among other things, "traitor of the Croatian state". As a result, parliament vice president Ivica Kostovic reprimanded Rojs. Rojs told reporters later he had information that the government brought a decision on Wednesday evening to cooperate with NATO's Stabilisation Force in Bosnia in an attempt to arrest Gotovina. Rojs claimed the action was being conducted in the Drnis-Sinj-Rama triangle, specifically in a Franciscan monastery in Scit in Bosnia- Herzegovina. (hina) sp/ha sb
