ZAGREB, Nov 3, 2020 – The Croatian Parliamentstarted its new, 4th session on Tuesday adhering to special epidemiological measures.
At the beginning of Question Time, Parliament Speaker Gordan Jandrokovic asked lawmakers to be responsible and show solidarity to each other so that they can do their job properly.
Due to measures of protection against coronavirus, some deputies will sit in the Grand Chamber while others will be dispersed in five other meeting rooms. Also, those who are coronavirus positive or in self-isolation will participate in debates via video-link.
In an effort to minimise the possibility of the infection spreading, the parliament will have a 10-minute-long break every two hours so the chamber and meeting rooms can be aired out.
Lawmakers first defined the agenda which contains almost 80 issues, prior to opening Question Time, for which 39 parliamentarians have submitted their questions to government members.
Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic will present an annual report to the parliament on Wednesday and a day later the budget revision is expected to be debated.
