ZAGREB, Nov 27 (Hina) - Croatian Television and Croatian Radio
should remain united in one public institution, but with clearly
defined responsibilities and autonomy in work, unofficial sources
have reported to be the conclusion of a meeting of leaders of the
ruling and opposition parliamentary benches on Wednesday. #L#
According to the unofficial information, the Radio and Television
would remain one institution in the formal and legal sense, with
strictly defined scope of activities.
However, the new draft law on the HRT (Croatian Radio and
Television) would remain open for the possibility of the two
institutions becoming independent companies in the future.
The Croatian parliament would have a bigger role in the HRT Council
than it has now.
The leaders of the five ruling parties will discuss the draft law on
Thursday, when it should receive a final version of the bill from
the Culture Ministry.
Unofficial sources said the ruling coalition leaders on Wednesday
informally spoke about a dispute which arose in the public due to
the draft constitutional law on the rights of national minorities.
As a participant of the meeting said, some coalition members asked
that certain government members and the strongest party in the
coalition "exercise self-restraint", stressing that their views of
the constitutional law on minorities are not the views of the ruling
coalition.
