SUBJECT: NEW PARLIAMENT CONVENES, NEW GOVERNMENT TOMORROW 
 
1. SUMMARY: The newly-elected Croatian parliament (Sabor) 
convened on January 11, selecting Croatian Democratic Union 
(HDZ) representative Luka Bebic as their new Speaker. Bebic, 
formerly the Sabor,s principal vice president, replaces his 
close associate and fellow HDZ-er Vladimir Seks, who will 
serve as a vice president and chair the important Committee 
on Constitution, Rules of Procedure and Political System.  In 
its first meeting, the Sabor also selected three vice 
presidents from the ranks of parliamentary majority. In 
addition to Seks, HDZ Secretary General Ivan Jarnjak and 
Croatian Peasant Party (HSS) leader Josip Friscic are new 
deputy speakers. No vice presidents have yet been selected 
from the opposition, as the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and 
the Croatian People,s Party (HNS) couldn,t agree on the two 
remaining candidates. The issue is expected to be resolved at 
the next session scheduled to take place on January 12, when 
the new cabinet is scheduled to seek a vote of confidence. On 
its first day, the new Sabor has also selected the membership 
of four committees needed to change legislation governing the 
organization of ministries.  END SUMMARY. 
 
SPEAKER BEBIC FROM RANKS OF HDZ FOUNDERS 
---------------------------------------- 
 
2. Luka Bebic was one of the founding members of the HDZ in 
1989. An agronomist by profession, he has been elected to the 
Sabor since the first multiparty elections in 1990.  In 1991 
he briefly served as Minister of Defense, and then chaired 
the Internal Affairs and National Security Committee from 
1992 to 1996.  In 1996 he served as the Director of the 
National Security Bureau, and the next two years as 
then-President Tudjman,s advisor on national security.  In 
2003, he reemerged as a prominent HDZ member with his 
selection as principal deputy speaker.  Much like his 
predecessor Seks, Bebic is one of the few original HDZ 
members who managed to retain his place in the party 
leadership through its reform to a modern conservative 
European party.  Bebic was born in 1937 near the southern 
town of Metkovic. He is married with two adult children. 
 
GOVERNMENT CONFIDENCE VOTE ON JANUARY 12 
---------------------------------------- 
 
3.  The Sabor is scheduled to hold its next session on 
Saturday to vote on a new government.  On January 11, PM 
Sanader confirmed the following as the other 17 members of 
the cabinet he will present: 
 
-     Jadranka Kosor (HDZ), Deputy Prime Minister and 
Minister of Family and Veterans, Affairs 
-     Damir Polancec (HDZ), Deputy Prime Minister and 
Minister of Economy 
-     Djurdja Adlesic* (Croatian Social Liberal Party-HSLS), 
Deputy Prime Minister responsible for internal affairs 
-     Slobodan Uzelac* (Independent Democratic Serbian 
Party-SDSS), Deputy Prime Minister responsible for external 
affairs 
-     Gordan Jandrokovic* (HDZ), Minister of Foreign Affairs 
-     Branko Vukelic** (HDZ), Minister of Defense 
-     Berislav Roncevic** (HDZ), Minister of Interior 
-     Ivan Suker (HDZ), Minister of Finance 
-     Bozidar Kalmeta (HDZ), Minister of Transport and 
Infrastructure 
-     Darko Milinovic* (HDZ), Minister of Health 
-     Ana Lovrin (HDZ), Minister of Justice 
-     Bozidar Pankretic* (HSS), Minister of Agriculture 
-     Damir Bajs* (HSS), Minister of Tourism 
-     Marina Matulovic-Dropulic (HDZ), Minister of 
Environment and Urban Planning 
-     Bozo Biskupic (HDZ), Ministry of Culture 
-     Petar Cobankovic** (HDZ), Minister of Regional 
Development, Water Management and Forestry 
-     Dragan Primorac (HDZ), Minister of Education and 
Science. 
 
* - new ministers 
** - ministers returning but to different portfolios 
 
4. The HDZ,s negotiations with coalition partners in the 
HSS, HSLS and minority parties resulted in a cabinet that 
represents relatively little change from the previous 
government, with only six new faces, three old ministers with 
new portfolios, and two new ministries: Tourism (separated 
from Kalmeta,s previous Ministry of Sea, Tourism, Traffic 
and Transport) and Regional Development, Water Management and 
Forestry.  Biographies of ministers to follow septel after 
government is approved.
