"This makes a picture of the Sabor as a dynamic parliament both in the quality and quantity of its work," Seks said in an interview he gave to the Croatian Radio on Wednesday morning before he suffered a mild heart attack and was hospitalised in the Rebro clinical centre later in the day.
The radio aired the interview on Thursday afternoon.
In addition to its law-making activities, the national parliament was also active in parliamentary diplomacy and during 2006, Sabor representatives held over 200 meeting with European officials and parliamentarians which Seks described as a great contribution to Croatia's efforts to join the European Union and NATO.
The parliament, however, did not manage to adjust 59 laws to the EU acquis this year, and only a half of that job was done. Seks explained that this was a result of agreement with the European Commission on adjusting the national legislation at a slower pace so that more attention can be paid to the quality of laws.
In relation to the case of independent member of parliament, Branimir Glavas, who was stripped of immunity so that investigations into his alleged involvement in war crimes could be launched, Sabor Speaker said that this was one of the hardest decisions for him personally.
"Personally, this has been one of the most hardest decisions as I was in a specific emotional situation, and this has also affected me. This was about a friendship broken a long time ago and about a former personal and political friendship from the war-time which left its traces," Seks said commenting on his relationship with Glavas.
Asked whether scandals about Glavas have a bad impact on his (Seks's) rating in the eastern Croatian areas of Slavonia and Baranja from where Seks had come, the Sabor chief said he had so far won elections in that constituency and that he expected the victory at the next elections in 2007, too.
