PM Milanovic attended inauguration of the eighth Croatian parliament

"We cannot allow a period of interregnum in Croatia, when there is no interregnum. The country has a government, it can continue having that government for months but it is important that the parliament is inaugurated so that the government, regardless of its being unofficially a caretaker government, can cooperate with the parliament, regardless of who the prime minister designate is and whether the new government has been appointed. I still believe that it would be fair if Mr Podolnjak, as the person explicitly mentioned yesterday, is appointed Parliament Speaker," Milanovic told reporters while arriving for today's parliament session.
