Libra MPs Jozo Rados and Vilim Herman said at a press conference that the Council was completely blocked in its work by the parliamentary Home Policy and National Security Committee and its chairman, Ivan Jarnjak.
"Although the Council should be operating as an independent body within the Committee, it is completely blocked in its work by the Committee," Rados said.
Rados criticised the Council for failing to present its stance to the public on three recent scandals -- the monitoring of six journalists and former police director Ranko Ostojic and the treatment of journalist Helena Puljiz by the Counter-Intelligence Agency (POA).
Rados raised the question of whether journalists were an ongoing subject of interest to the POA.
