The government also sent to parliament draft changes to the Law on the Prevention of Narcotics Abuse as the existing regulation on courts appointing a commission witnessing the destruction of confiscated drugs has proven ineffective.
The government has opted for a permanent seven-member commission including representatives of relevant ministries and a representative of the Croatian Journalists' Association.
The parliament was also forwarded a bill on explosive substances proposing that the deadline for the hand-over of pyrotechnic devices (e.g. firecrackers) be extended. Under the existing law, those devices can be sold from 26 December to 1 January, and the bill proposes that they be sold throughout December.
