The commission is comprised of representatives of the programmes, production and legal departments, Janos Roemer, in charge of public relations at HRT, said in a statement.
The commission was set up in line with a December 15 conclusion in which the Croatian Television (HTV) Programmes Council urged HRT leaders to inform the Council and the public within 15 days of measures taken to establish if Latin was responsible for breaching programme principles and duties.
An opinion has been requested also from the HRT Ethics Council and the commission is expected to wrap up its work in the first week of January. Afterwards, appropriate decisions will be adopted in line with the December 15 conclusion.
The December 12 edition of the primetime talk show, which addressed the legacy of the first Croatian president, the late Franjo Tudjman, elicited opposite reactions in public.
According to some, it falsified Croatian history, was a biased, tendentious and unprofessional show which insulted the entire Croatian people, notably war veterans, and breached the Media Act and the parliamentary Declaration on the Homeland War.
Others said the criticisms of the show constituted pressure on HTV, an attack on its independence and editorial policy as well as on the media, and that the parliamentary debate on "Latinica" was ghoulish.
