Announcing this year's last parliamentary session, Seks said he expected the government to adopt and send to parliament on Tuesday a draft budget for 2007, which the parliament would vote on, along with amendments, on November 28 or December 1.
On Wednesday the Sabor will also start a debate on the decision by its Credentials and Privileges Commission to approve the prosecution and detention of MP Branimir Glavas in the Sellotape case, in which the Osijek County Prosecutor's Office charges Glavas with the unlawful detention and murder of civilians on the Drava River bank in late 1991, and his detention in the Garage case, in which the Zagreb County Court is investigating him on suspicion that he ordered the murder of two civilians, also in 1991.
Seks confirmed that the plenary debate about Glavas would be broadcast live by Croatian Television.
Commenting on the proposal by the Social Democratic Party (SDP) to adopt a constitutional law that would abolish statute of limitations for war profiteering, Seks reiterated that this issue could not be regulated by a constitutional law, but only by amendments to the Constitution.
Commenting on President Stjepan Mesic's statement that war profiteering should be considered a war crime, Seks recalled that war crimes were defined by the Penal Code and the Hague war crimes tribunal's statute, and that profiteering was not a war crime in terms of criminal law.
"What must be defined now is a constitutionally tenable and implementable legal framework, so that unlawfully acquired property could be confiscated in legal procedure," Seks said, confirming that the ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) was ready to cooperate with the SDP on this issue.
