"Let's show we can be bigger, let's honour the victims as we should have done yesterday," he called on other MPs, commenting on yesterday's events during the marking of Vukovar Remembrance Day.
"I was in Vukovar yesterday and stood peacefully before the greatness of Vukovar's sacrifice, genuinely and without calculations," said Parliament Speaker Josip Leko.
Leko said he did not believe that Croatian society was divided and that it was inappropriate and irresponsible yesterday to prevent legitimately elected representatives of the Croatian people from paying their respects to the victims of the military aggression on Vukovar in 1991.
"Philosophers have said that bad people fear the law and honest people their conscience. I think one reprimand is enough," he added.
"Yesterday in Vukovar we saw a policy of intolerance and division, a policy which doesn't lead Croatia forward but back to the past," said Igor Dragovan of the ruling Social Democrats.
After parliamentary groups voiced their opinions on yesterday's events in Vukovar, Leko called on the MPs to work on a plenum.
"That's what the Sabor is for, that's what a multiparty system in Croatia is for, which is why we must protect it in a democratic manner," he said.
