ZAGREB, April 1 (Hina) - The government's position on a request to
review its work, submitted by the Peasant Party (HSS) in connection

"I asked party leaders and heads of clubs of deputies yesterday to
include that topic on tomorrow's agenda, but it will not be discussed
before the next sitting of parliament," Sanader said at a government
session.
Before the third round of negotiations with the European Commission,
which are scheduled for next week, the government would make efforts
to avoid an increase in import quotas (to follow after the admission
of ten new EU members), decrease the existing unused quotas, and see
that after EU enlargement Croatia be allowed to keep the possibility
of unlimited export to the EU market, the PM said.
If we accomplish that, we can be very satisfied, he added.
He dismissed claims that Croatian negotiators should have obtained the
parliament's consent for their negotiating platform.
European Integration Minister Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic said that the
text of the protocol, once completed, would be sent to parliament for
approval.
Sanader voiced confidence that the Croatian delegation was negotiating
well and would accomplish results that would be favourable to
Croatia.
