ZAGREB, Nov 21 (Hina)- Virtually 450 amendments were submitted by
MPs and their party benches in regard to the 2003 draft state
budget, the Croatian Sabor reported on Thursday. #L#
The number of amendments submitted is significantly lower than last
year, when there were almost 600, but their nature is similar. In
most cases, more funds are being requested for the construction or
renovation of schools, courts, municipal buildings, utilities and
infrastructure, the preservation of historical monuments, etc.
The deadline for the submission of amendments expired on Wednesday
at 3 p.m. so that the government could consider them. The Sabor is to
vote on the draft budget on December 4 or 5.
