The Croatian Parliament is set to conclude its 10th session this week, with MPs returning to work on Monday. The three-day working period precedes a two-month recess that will last until 15 September.
Five items remain on the agenda. Among them is a resolution by the Homeland Movement on the political empowerment of Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as a draft law on the exploration and exploitation of energy resources.
The draft law would, for the first time, consolidate the regulation of oil, gas, and geothermal waters, as well as geological formations suitable for the storage of carbon dioxide, within a single framework. The government proposes a royalty model for the extracted quantities. Minister of Economy Ante Šušnjar stated that the law would bring "clearer procedures, shorter deadlines, and better integration of processes."
From the opposition benches, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) has proposed a resolution calling for the Ministry of Tourism and Sport to submit a report on sports funding over the past five years.
On Tuesday, MPs will decide on the appointment of the president and six members of the Council for the Civil Oversight of Security Agencies. The session will conclude on Wednesday with a vote on the remaining points, after which MPs will depart for the two-month summer break.
