ZAGREB, 3 Dec 2021- The Croatian Parliament on Friday added 19 items to its agenda, including amendments that would impose fines of up to HRK 50,000 on responsible persons in public bodies who fail to comply with the COVID certificate mandate.
Parliament will fast-track the amendments to the law protecting the population from infectious diseases, despite objections from the opposition Green-Left Bloc, whose Sandra Benčić requested that a two-thirds majority be required to change the law.
However, 77 MPs voted for fast-tracking, while 45 were against.
MPs will also fast-track amendments to the Criminal Code and the Civil Protection System Act.
Parliament is due to wrap up its autumn session on 15 December and there are more than 130 items on the agenda left.
