ZAGREB, March 13 (Hina) - The Croatian parliament will start its 25th session next week and the session will last until April 27, with a two-week break for the Easter holidays, Sabor Speaker Vladimir Seks told reporters after a session of the Sabor Presidency on Tuesday.

The upcoming session has a 41-item agenda, including 12 bills to be discussed under urgent procedure, of which five are to be adjusted to EU standards.

Seks said he expected the government to send a few more bills to parliament this week so as to adjust them to EU standards and keep up with the scheduled dynamic of legislative adjustment.

Seks dismissed speculation that he was withdrawing from politics because his party was trying to get rid of him, as speculated by some media which carried his statement that he did not want his current office in the next term.

Seks said that his statement had been misinterpreted and that his only plan was to win the upcoming parliamentary elections, but that he was not withdrawing from the race for the post of Sabor Speaker.

Reporters also wanted to know if the ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) expected problems with keeping the majority of seats in parliament, considering the Social Liberals' dissatisfaction with the government's refusal of its amendments to the Labour Act and Serb MP Milorad Pupovac's indirect request for Deputy Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor to resign over controversial purchase of a flat owned by the Ministry of Defence.

Seks said he was confident that the HDZ would have no problems with keeping the majority of seats in parliament and that differences of opinion between the government and the HSLS would be overcome by sending the said amendments to third reading.

Commenting on Kosor's flat, Seks said that the topic was old and that Kosor had bought the flat in line with relevant laws. He added that he also did not expect Pupovac, a member of the Independent Democratic Serb Party (SDSS), to withhold support for the government.
