ZAGREB, Feb 1 (Hina) - The Croatian National Sabor's House of
Counties at its 37th session, unanimously, by urgent procedure,
supported the passing of three laws regarding the changes of
current legal regulations on the Government and the organisation of
the state administration.
Deputy Prime Minister Slavko Linic presented legal documents on
behalf of the Croatian Government.
He said that the new Government would try to work with quality
materials and would pass law by urgent procedure as little as
possible.
Elaborating a bill on amendments to the law on the Croatian
Government, Linic said it was a novelty that one of the vice prime
ministers would be Croatian Prime Minister Ivica Racan's first
deputy. Also proposed was the cancellation of the Office of vice
prime ministers, and expert and administration work would be
conducted by the Government Secretariat.
The Croatian Government would include 19 ministries, which is two
ministries more than the old Government had. According to the
proposal, the Immigration, Reconstruction and Development
Ministry would be cancelled and its work would be conducted by the
Ministry for Public Works, Reconstruction and Building. The status
of state ministries would also be cancelled.
New ministries, namely the Ministry for European Integration, the
Ministry for the Environment Protection and Urban Planning, the
Power Supply, Industry, Trade and Privatisation Ministry, and the
Craftsmanship, and Small and Medium Entrepreneurship Ministry,
would be organised.
Linic believes that bills on amendments to the laws will not
significantly increase the administration and overall expenses of
the state administration.
He said that the Government would present the entire documentation
on the organisation of the state administration within six months
at the latest.
