CROATIAN PARLIAMENT LOWER HOUSE SESSION TO RESUME TUESDAY

ZAGREB, March 24 (Hina) - The Croatian Parliament's House of Representatives is to resume its session on March 28. First deputy speaker Goran Granic told deputies that the chairmen of the clubs of deputies had agreed to delay the session until next Tuesday to remove obstacles which had arisen from a differing interpretation of the Book of Procedure. Opinions vary as to whether the first deputy speaker should replace the House speaker if he is absent and whether the outcome of the election of the House first deputy speaker becomes effective on the day it is passed or on the day it is published in the official gazette. The Opposition says that the decision on the election of Social Liberal deputy Granic as the first deputy speaker should take effect on the day it is passed, as it was said in the written decision. Invoking article 39 of the Book of Proecdure, Vladimir Seks of the ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) said that the decision should be effective from the day it is published in the official gazette.
