Mp Arsen Bauk spoke in the Newsroom about the hearings, which are scheduled to take place at tomorrow's session of the Anti-Corruption Council." I think that this move by my colleague Grmoja on public hearing should be included in the textbooks of business conduct within the Croatian Parliament.

A public hearing is possible, among other things, under Article 52a," Bauk said, adding that the article says that the parliamentary working body can conduct a public hearing to clarify a topic that is of public interest. Commenting on the thesis that the Anti-Corruption Council is not the parent working body, Bauk recalled an example in which HDZ's Vladimir Seks said that the work body has even greater significance." I have been minister of administration in my long career, among other things. Once, the then president of the Anti-Corruption Council, Vladimir Seks, called a session, and the deputy left for me. He called me out because the National Council is not that it's usually a working body, it's above that. So after that I always responded," Bauk.Ne said, seeing that the hearings could be prevented because there would be a quorum, the president would come, the agenda would be adopted. On the fact that Dragan Kovacevic could be prevented from entering parliament, Bauk said: "The Parliament is entered with an announcement based on an invitation. He can be invited by any member of parliament and the parliamentary guard would have to release him. If in a political fight the ruling wants to discredit Kovacevic, they will do so with the arguments they are saying, not with the business gimmicks." He points out that at the moment the question of INA, it is a matter of public interest." The National Council is the working body of the Parliament. It decided to conduct the hearing in accordance with Article 52a of the Rules of Procedure of the Croatian Parliament. Tomorrow, whichever invitee wants to come can come. And who does not want to, does not have to, and there are no sanctions," he said.
