European protein strategy (debate)

Watch

At the beginning of the year, the European Commission informed us that we will need to eat less meat and more insects because less harmful gases are emitted when producing insects. So we would probably compensate for the lack of meat food after livestock farming has been reduced throughout the European Union, and in Croatia not to speak. There, this decline in livestock farming is even smaller, wi…

A true geopolitical Europe now (topical debate)

Watch

Dear Chairman, Dear colleagues, are we realistic in assessing our geopolitical significance? Ursula von der Leyen believes that the European Union is a beacon and a world leader, and this parliament, as a moral officer of the world, adopts a bunch of resolutions in which we condemn and evaluate all the countries of the world. Do you know another parliament in the world that so much salts the mind …

The spread of ‘anti-LGBTIQ’ propaganda bills by populist parties and governments in Europe (debate)

Watch

So I know that there are people who would even say I hate homosexuals and who even commit violence, which I find horrible. However, can you accept the fact that there are us who respect each person and their dignity, but are critical of this behavior? And don't put us in the same basket that we want to persecute, ban, beat and don't know what. So, there are normal people who appreciate the dignity…

The spread of ‘anti-LGBTIQ’ propaganda bills by populist parties and governments in Europe (debate)

Watch

That's not my interpretation. You have personally requested this debate in plenary. So that's not my interpretation. And you should agree between yourselves whether you want this propaganda or not because a gentleman from the Socialist, the vice-president of parliament said: ‘There is no homosexual propaganda’. Ms. Kim van Sparrentak said she should be promoted more. You also said you should promo…

The spread of ‘anti-LGBTIQ’ propaganda bills by populist parties and governments in Europe (debate)

Watch

So, I think, while we're at it, even though it's on national legislation, that the key thing is intention and desire and biological predisposition, it means that someone has a child. So this is a key parameter and in any case I would help these people to have a child, when we talk about heterosexual couples who cannot have a child. But that can't be the measure of everything else. But I would not …

The spread of ‘anti-LGBTIQ’ propaganda bills by populist parties and governments in Europe (debate)

Watch

I'll answer in Croatian. So, as I said, not only do I have no fears. I don't know why you have to force us to be afraid of something. So, not only do I not have any fears, but I normally communicate with people who are homosexual and with that I have no problem, just as I communicate and accept every person as they are, but that does not mean that I have to have a positive opinion of what these pe…

The spread of ‘anti-LGBTIQ’ propaganda bills by populist parties and governments in Europe (debate)

Watch

Dear Chairman, Honourable Ladies and Gentlemen, first of all to present the facts - this discussion was not initiated by us, but by LGBT promoters. We haven't had this topic in three months, so now we definitely need to discuss this key topic on which the overall development of Europe depends. In the last discussion, I put forward the notorious fact that a homosexual couple cannot have their biolo…

Decent Housing for All (topical debate)

Watch

Dear Chairman, dear colleagues, I certainly support any effort that wants to help people create a warm and cozy family home. But what I hear doesn't seem to be going in the right direction. In fact, I lived in Yugoslavia before 1990, and there the communists really had the same narrative as you do today. Thus, in their desire for dignified housing, they took more power for themselves because they …

Need for a speedy adoption of the asylum and migration package (debate)

Watch

Two weeks ago, on the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, there was a shooting by migrants and people smuggling towards the Croatian police. The so-called humanitarian organizations did not say a word, and if it had been the other way around, if the Croatian police had been shooting at migrants, these associations would have been attacking the Croatian police here for several months…

Recent developments in the Serbia-Kosovo dialogue, including the situation in the northern municipalities in Kosovo (debate)

Watch

Dear Chairman, colleagues, dramatic events have confirmed what I said here in May. Serbia is the main cause of instability in Kosovo. The attack of Serb militants on the Kosovo police is a classic terrorist act and Mr. Borrell made a big mistake not to make it clear. In the same way, 30 years ago, the attack of Serbian militants on the Croatian police started the Serbian aggression on Croatia, and…

Dear Chairman, colleagues, we have this big regulation of classical media and we have about this small regulation of big tech companies like Apple, Google, Facebook or Amazon. The influence of these classical media is about this small, and the influence of big tech The company is huge. And it is these companies that are the main promoters of the culture of cancellation and woke ideology. They are …

Parliamentarism, European citizenship and democracy (debate)

Watch

Dear Chairman, Dear colleagues, the average turnout in the European elections is twice as low as the turnout in the national elections. Thus, citizens believe twice as little in democracy at European level, i.e. European authorities have twice as little democratic legitimacy. And now you call the national representatives in the Council problematic and you want to deprive them of one significant in…

State of the Union (debate)

Dear Chairman, dear colleagues, dear Mrs. von der Leyen, I now see what it means to live in the Brussels bubble. From there comes your speech, and on the other hand we have reality, we have concrete figures that show that the European economy is in a very bad situation, that energy prices are higher than ever, that many parts of Europe are cracking at the seams of uncontrolled migration, that we a…

European Defence Industry Reinforcement through common Procurement Act (EDIRPA) (debate)

–Dear Chair, European Union countries do not have sufficient production of military equipment, especially ammunition, which we have seen now during Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and this is not good. In the Homeland War, Croatia clearly saw that diplomatic efforts alone were not enough and that we must be ready and militarily defend our borders, our freedom, our people and our culture. That …

India, the situation in Manipur

Watch

The Honourable Chairman, although the dramatic violence in India in Manipur began due to land ownership, it seems that it quickly became religiously conditioned violence. More than 250 churches, cemeteries and parish houses were attacked. India is an important partner for the European Union, but if we, as a community of Christian tradition, respect other faiths and identities, we must ask our part…

Madam President, dear colleagues, this report is not controversial, and I believe it will be supported by a vast majority of the Members. However, I am addressing you because this report is a good indicator of the extremely bad and belittling attitude of the Commission towards Parliament, and this concerns all of us, no matter which group we belong to. Today we are transposing decisions which were…

2022 Report on Bosnia and Herzegovina (debate)

Dear Chairman, colleagues, Bosnia and Herzegovina deserves a European perspective. But this perspective implies not only the absorption of European funds, which this report welcomes, but also an analysis of where these funds are spent because it seems that there is no small amount of these funds drowning in general corruption in BiH. Drugo, izvješće pozdravlja unapređenje izbornog procesa, a taj j…

COVID-19 pandemic: lessons learned and recommendations for the future (debate)

Dear Chair, colleagues, the debate on COVID has deeply divided society. But only irresponsible opportunistic politicians will ignore this important topic. We need to do a serious analysis because this topic has changed the fundamentals of society. We need to know why people were emotionally forced to vaccinate on the grounds that this protects others when no research has been done to show whether …

Make Europe the place to invest (debate)

Until 35 years ago, the economies of Eastern European countries were burdened by communists and socialists who carried their vision of social justice through the economy - and these economies collapsed, and it seems that the European mainstream is taking this path today. The speech on the economy in this parliament comes down mainly to how to get companies to green production and have enough women…

Ensuring food security and the long-term resilience of EU agriculture (debate)

Dear Chairman, dear colleagues, today we have food of every kind, but it is very expensive, and it is expensive because we have the highest environmental standards in the world. However, we are not looking for the same standards for food we import from third countries, so many of our citizens ultimately eat this cheap and unhealthy food from third countries because they simply cannot afford domest…

Sexual harassment in the EU and MeToo evaluation (debate)

Dear Chairman, Honourable Ladies and Gentlemen, the root cause of this horrible violence against women is that many men in women look only at the body and ignore feelings, attitudes and other aspects of personality. And instead of the whole society implementing programs that promote the integrity of the human person, the integrity of the woman, the dignity of the woman, many of you who support the…

Geographical Indications for wine, spirit drinks and agricultural products (debate)

Dear Chairman, Dear colleagues, I absolutely condemn the actions of those who, when creating a new product, give it a name that is similar to some quality or established other product, in order to benefit from the similarity of these names. However, the question of the similarity of a name must not be the only criterion. For example, as we have heard, Prošek is produced in Croatia, in Italy prosec…

Breaches of the Rule of law and fundamental rights in Hungary and frozen EU funds (debate)

Dear Chair, a number of colleagues want to clearly prevent Hungary from taking over the Presidency of the European Union in July next year, in line with its own order, while at the same time swearing a fundamental principle of the European Union of unity in diversity. This raises a key question: How many differences are you willing to tolerate? Does this suggestion by you that Hungary has crossed …

Dear Chair, colleagues, the Common Fisheries Policy implies a balance between three main objectives: economic interest, which includes the supply of quality food to consumers, the social position of fishermen and environmental protection. This action plan does not respect this balance but focuses exclusively on environmental protection. The announcement of the abolition of bottom fishing and the e…

2022 Report on Kosovo (debate)

Dear Chairman, colleagues, despite losing the war, Serbia would still want Kosovo territory and would still want to minimize the rights of Albanians. Instead of encouraging peaceful coexistence in the north of Kosovo, Serbia consciously encourages intolerance, division and instability. Kosovo as an independent state is in a difficult position and deserves our support. Unfortunately, for some MPs, …
