ZAGREB, Dec 9 (Hina) - The Croatian Sabor's (parliament) House of
Representatives on Wednesday resumed its session with a discussion
on the final bill on the highest retirement allowance.
According to the bill, next year's highest pension, with 40 years of
service, would amount to US$793, which is about 20 per cent more
that the current highest pension.
The chairman of the session, Parliament Vice President Vladimir
Seks, informed the MPs that a proposal by the Croatian Social
Liberal Party (HSLS) on a vote of no confidence in Interior Minister
Ivan Penic had been included in the agenda.
The reason for HSLS's proposal is the recent scandal concerning the
alleged tapping of journalists' phones.
Opening the session, Seks told the Lower House that Parliament
President Vlatko Pavletic was absent due to illness and wished him a
speedy recovery.
