The Council for Confronting the Past Accepted the Prime Minister’s Appeal to Intensify ‘Autonomous Work’

The Council for Confronting the Consequences of the Rule of Undemocratic Regimes accepted at its meeting on Thursday the appeal of Prime Minister Andrej Plenković to intensify its work and set forth theses on undemocratic regimes that will serve as a basis for final conclusions, stated the president of the council, academic Zvonko Kusić, after the meeting at Banski dvori.

“The Prime Minister appealed to the Council to, if possible, accelerate its work, which we accepted as feasible, and we will see in what timeframe this will be executed,” said Kusić after the meeting, which was attended by Prime Minister Plenković and the President of the Croatian Parliament Gordan Jandroković.

He emphasized that Prime Minister Plenković did not give the Council any direct instructions and that he respected its autonomy.

Although he did not specify how often the Council would meet, Kusić reiterated that it would likely reach conclusions before the deadline in March next year. He announced the next meeting of the Council for approximately three weeks.

When asked by journalists whether any other politicians would participate in the work of the Council, he replied that this was a question for the relevant authorities, but he reminded that its president “can invite someone if he deems it necessary.”

“In the second part of the meeting, the Council discussed working material that addresses the history, political background, and all circumstances of undemocratic regimes, during which various opinions of Council members were presented and theses or concepts were established that will later serve as recommendations to the Government,” Kusić emphasized, adding that this material was prepared by the Council members taking into account the proposals of all members.

He explained that the Council’s task is limited to the period from the beginning of World War II to the Homeland War.

Some members of the Council at today’s meeting were also tasked with preparing an analysis of Croatia’s positive practices in this area and a comparative analysis of practices in European Union countries for the next meeting.

“This legal analysis will serve as a basis for recommendations to the Government for the legal regulation of all these issues, the marking of streets, symbols, commemorations,” said Kusić.
