ZAGREB, May 9 (Hina) - Croatia's government will soon propose a
series of measures to prevent riots and violence on sports fields,
especially during soccer matches, and until then state
institutions must be consistent in enforcing the law and penalising
every time it is broken, Deputy Premier Zeljka Antunovic told
parliament's House of Counties on Tuesday.
It is a social issue which hit many other European countries before
Croatia, so we shall use their experience in preventing riots of
that kind, Antunovic told Ivan Brlekovic of the Croatian Democratic
Union when asked during Question hour what the government intended
to do about the matter.
Asked when parliament would receive reports on investigations by
The Hague war crimes tribunal's and domestic experts in the Gospic
area, Deputy Premier Goran Granic said the government would compile
an integral report and submit it to parliament once the
investigations were over.
We shall try to have domestic experts investigate in the future, but
before that we must win the international community's trust, which
the former government disrupted by refusing to cooperate with The
Hague tribunal, Granic said.
MPs were most interested in the difficult economic situation,
especially the galloping number of bankruptcies.
Bankruptcy does not mean that a company has to be shut down or its
workers laid off, said Deputy Premier Slavko Linic. Bankruptcy in
truth represents an attempt to strike a deal, a settlement between
creditor and debtor, he said, adding if prospects for a company's
survival exist, the company will be reorganised and resume
operating.
