CRO LOWER HOUSE DISCUSSES AMENDMENTS TO LAW ON INTERIOR AFFAIRS

ZAGREB, May 18 (Hina) - The Croatian National Sabor's House of Representatives on Thursday morning continued its fourth session by a discussion on a final bill on amendments to the law on interior affairs. The amendments, proposed by the Committee for Interior Affairs and National Security, establish conditions, measures, and ways of tapping, said president of the Committee Djurdja Aldesic of the Croatian Social-Liberal Party (HSLS). The Committee motioned the amendments after Article 18 of the law on interior affairs was abolished two months ago, and in line with which the interior minister had the right to decide who was to be tapped. The Committee proposed that the House of Representatives appoints a commission of three members, and whom the interior minister should inform of tapping measures that had been taken. The commission would include non-party persons and at least one investigation judge. Adlesic said that the proposed solution would be applied for only about a month, when an integral law is expected to be passed. She expressed hope that in the future human rights would not be violated and measures of tapping would not be applied on journalists, politicians and other public figures. (hina) it jn
