The parliament rejected a Social Democratic Party (SDP) bill proposing the introduction of a zero VAT rate on children's goods and equipment, newspapers and radio and television subscription fees.
Most deputies also voted against a bill on medically assisted insemination sponsored by Frano Piplovic of the Democratic Centre (DC).
The parliament withheld support for a bill on radio and television subscription fees proposed by Zeljko Pavlic, who suggested that the subscription fees be determined according to the average salary in a county and not according to the average salary at the national level. A bill on a parliamentary TV network was turned down as well.
The parliament will continue its 14th session next Wednesday.
