Parliament amends rules of procedure

Zagreb - The Croatian Parliament on Wednesday amended its rules of procedure by a majority vote, aligning it with a Constitutional Court decision which quashed a regulation that limited the number of MPs who could participate in sessions, state opinions, and reply due to anti-coronavirus measures.

The amended rules of procedure allow all MPs to participate in sessions via video link by staying in several chambers.

MPs who are infected with coronavirus or are self-isolating can vote or participate in debates via video link from home. This does not apply to healthy MPs.

If the Speaker and all his deputies end in isolation, the Speaker can authorise an MP to chair a session.
