Parliament strips HDSSB deputy of immunity from prosecution

ZAGREB, June 17 (Hina) - The Croatian parliament on Friday stripped of immunity from prosecution Ivan Drmic, a parliamentary deputy of the HDSSB party, on suspicion that he had made a false report to the judicial authorities.

Thus, 95 MPs voted for this motion by the Croatian prosecutorial authorities, two abstained from voting and one voted against it.

Earlier on Friday, the Credentials and Privileges Commission (MIP) unanimously proposed stripping Drmic of immunity from prosecution on suspicion that he had made a false report to the judicial authorities.

Drmic, a MIP member, also voted for this decision. After the MIP session, he said that he would like the whole truth to come to light.

According to unofficial information, Drmic is accused of trying to exert political pressure on the Supreme Court in an attempt to make it render a ruling in favour of Branimir Glavas, convicted of war crimes.

Glavas and Drmic are HDSSB officials and friends.

The Croatian Democratic Union of Slavonia and Baranja (HDSSB) later on Friday dismissed all allegations against its parliamentary deputy Drmic.

The party believes that this is the continuation of a politically-motivated campaign against its members, orchestrated by the ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ). HDSSB leader Vladimir Sisljagic said that Drmic had not committed any crime but was guided by the wish to help in any way a "wrongly convicted innocent Croatian general (Glavas)".

Also today, the parliament endorsed a draft amendment to rewrite the Constitution so that it would include legislation on the rights and entitlements of Croatian Homeland Defence War veterans.

MPs rewrote the Act on Holidays and Remembrance Days, which now includes a new remembrance day to be marked on 23 August as a Europe-wide day of remembrance for victims of 20th-century Nazi and communist crimes. On 23 August, the European Union observes the European Day of Remembrance for Victims of Stalinism and Nazism, also known as the International Black Ribbon Day,

A resolution was adopted on diabetes, in a bid to join parliaments and political institutions in Europe and the world in countering the growing pandemic of type 2 diabetes, from which 316,000 people in Croatia suffer.

The draft amendments to the law on physical planning and construction which simplify the procedure for the issuance of building permits and to the law on courts dealing with juvenile delinquency were sent into second reading.

The parliament resumes its session on 29 June.
