CROATIAN UPPER HOUSE CONTINUES SESSION

ZAGREB, June 16 (Hina) - The Croatian Parliament House of Counties continued its second session on Tuesday morning. The upper house should consider remaining eight items on the agenda, including a report on the condition, reorganisation, restructuring and development of the Croatian Railways. At the very beginning of the second day of the session, deputies began a debate on a draft bill on amendments to the flats lease law, which is in the first reading. The bill refers to regulation of the issue of caretakers' flats. So far, it has been said nowhere that a caretaker is a tenancy-rights holder and their status has been regulated in various ways. In Croatia, there are about 260 flats where caretakers or their families live, and the bill provides that they can pay a protective rent during ten years. (hina) jn mš 171102 MET jun 97
