CROATIAN LIBERALS DEMAND VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE IN GOVERNMENT

ZAGREB, Oct 3 (Hina) - The Croatian Social Liberal Party (HSLS) announced on Thursday it would table a motion of no confidence in the government. HSLS said in a statement that the government's report on the execution of conclusions adopted by the House of Representative with regard to a February 14 report by the National Audit Office "has completely failed the expectations of both the House and the Croatian public." "The report only seemingly takes into account the conclusions of the House, while actually it ignores them," said the statement copies of which were distributed to journalists at today's session of the lower house. In its report the government "has shown a lack of will to determine the responsibility for illegalities in the use and management of national budget and extrabudgetary funds, thus becoming partly responsible for concealing these illegalities." The written proposal for taking a vote of no-confidence in the government - signed by 14 deputies, including three members of the Peasant Party and one Christian Democrat - was sent to Parliament speaker Vlatko Pavletic.
