Government gives positive opinion on work of state prosecutor's office

Justice Minister Orsat Miljenic proposed that a positive opinion be given, but added several comments on the future work of DORH. The minister suggests intensifying war crimes investigations, given that the state is losing many war crimes cases before the European Court for Human Rights in Strasbourg, "which costs money."

The government also calls on DORH to invest additional efforts to enter all state-owned property into land registers.

At its session today, the government adopted regulations referring to conditions necessary to exercise or lose the status of a refugee, displaced person or returnee and their right to financial assistance in the amount of up to HRK 500 per member of a household, depending on the living conditions.

Also adopted was a regulation concerning the status of former tenancy rights holders and members of their families, which stipulates providing housing to all former tenancy rights holders who do not own a house or a flat.

The Zoran Milanovic cabinet also adopted three minor amendments to the law on electing Croatian members to the European Parliament which, according to Public Administration Minister Arsen Bauk, resolves the issue of passive voting rights for candidates running in Croatia but who are not Croatian citizens. Also regulated is the voting process for blind persons in diplomatic offices.

The government also decided to donate 1,400 vaccines to refugees from Syria who are now in Jordan.

The cabinet also approved the launching of a process aimed at signing an agreement with the Ukrainian government regulating cooperation in preventing catastrophes. Also adopted was a draft memorandum between the Croatian SMEs ministry and the Ukrainian state office for enterprise, which is expected to be signed during Prime Minister Milanovic's visit to Ukraine scheduled for next week.
