Speaking in parliament on Wednesday, Arlovic said the government proposed extending the deadline for privatisation audits, but failed to propose extending the deadline for the submission of audit requests.
By doing so, the government is saying that it does not want to do anything, Arlovic said, wondering if the government was only superficial or was trying to get around the initiative of the president of the state and public expectations.
Other opposition clubs of deputies, too, believe that citizens' expectations of privatisation crime being prosecuted would not be met.
Damir Kajin of the Istrian Democratic Party (IDS) said that courts had passed only four verdicts in 1,556 cases of privatisation crime.
Our justice system is rotten and courts depend on big business, Kajin said, adding that he doubted the government's proposal would yield any results.
Miroslav Rozic of the Party of Rights (HSP) supported this position, adding that the statute of limitations expired on criminal acts, but that it did not expire on illegally acquired property.
Zlatko Tomcic of the Peasant Party (HSS) said the audit should not be limited and that future privatisation cases should be audited as well.
He called for giving the government additional powers to annul privatisation cases found to have been illegal.
Milorad Pupovac of the Independent Democratic Serb Party (SDSS) supported the extension of the deadline for privatisation audits, noting that national minorities had been left out of the privatisation process due to the war.
Economy Minister Branko Vukelic dismissed the opposition's criticisms that the government was proposing token measures instead of actual solutions. By extending the deadline for privatisation audits, the government wants to ensure that the auditing process is carried out as successfully as possible, Vukelic said.
