Ante Sanader addresses SOA oversight regarding Gospić waste case

Croatian HDZ lawmaker Ante Sanader stated on Friday that the Committee for Internal Policy and National Security is not an investigative body. He argued that discussions regarding the Security and Intelligence Agency (SOA) should wait until the State Attorney's Office (DORH) completes its criminal investigation into the illegal disposal of hazardous waste in Gospić.

The Committee recently adopted conclusions from the ruling majority to prevent further activities from interfering with the ongoing investigation. This decision followed the rejection of opposition proposals that sought direct oversight of the SOA and requested reports from the State Inspectorate, DORH, the Customs Administration, and the SOA concerning waste disposal activities between 2016 and 2026.

Sanader also criticized the SDP and Možemo parties regarding their waste management programs, questioning how they intend to fund their proposed solutions for the Jakuševec landfill and other illegal sites in Zagreb.
