ZAGREB, March 2 (Hina) - President of the Croatian National Parliament Zlatko Tomcic on Thursday received a petition with the signatures of almost 105,000 people requesting an audit of the ownership transformation and privatisation
process. The petition was handed to Tomcic by Silvije Degen, president of the Action of Social Democrats of Croatia (ASH) which initiated the signing of the competition. The petition, Degen said, was signed since February through to April last year in all large Croatian towns, and the big number of signatures show the Croatian people wish for the audit to take place, and where irregularities are shown, for the process to be annulled.

ZAGREB, March 2 (Hina) - President of the Croatian National
Parliament Zlatko Tomcic on Thursday received a petition with the
signatures of almost 105,000 people requesting an audit of the
ownership transformation and privatisation process.
The petition was handed to Tomcic by Silvije Degen, president of the
Action of Social Democrats of Croatia (ASH) which initiated the
signing of the competition.
The petition, Degen said, was signed since February through to
April last year in all large Croatian towns, and the big number of
signatures show the Croatian people wish for the audit to take
place, and where irregularities are shown, for the process to be
annulled.
The ASH had tried handing this petition, Degen said, to the former
Croatian President Franjo Tudjman and former president of the
Croatian parliament, Vlatko Pavletic, but they had never shown any
will to receive it.
Tomcic said Parliament bodies would thoroughly responsibly discuss
the initiative, adding that he expected the Parliament to, with
agreement from the Government and the President, place a bill on the
agenda which would focus on everything that had been done wrong or
past the law during the ownership transfer and privatisation
process.
Tomcic said he still could not say whether the bill would relate to
amendments to the existing Law on privatisation or a law on audit.
