ZAGREB, Dec 15 (Hina) - The Croatian Parliament's House of Counties
endorsed the proposed state budget for 1998 at an extraordinary
session on Monday.
House Speaker Katica Ivanisevic announced that President Franjo
Tudjman would address both houses of Parliament on Thursday
following the adoption of constitutional changes and on the
occasion of the seventh anniversary of the promulgation of the
Constitution.
Deputy Finance Minister Mijo Jukic said that the budget draft
reallocated 432 million kuna and reduced expenses for official
travel, entertainment, purchase of furniture and cars, payment of
intellectual services, etc.
The budget reduced funds for the Ministry of Reconstruction and
Development by 100 million kuna. It was proposed that 200 million
kuna be raised through the sale of shares. The Defence Ministry's
expenditure was reduced by 150 million kuna due to the
reorganisation of the armed forces.
The vote on the proposed budget was not attended by some opposition
deputies, who had walked out of the session after Ivanisevic warned
a Peasant Party deputy that he was presenting demands for too long.
The opposition deputies believed this denied MP Zeljko Pecek the
floor, and as a result they left the chamber.
