Josip Jurčević sets record with 303 penalties in Croatia's parliament
Independent MP Josip Jurčević, a member of the Most party, has received a total of 303 disciplinary penalties in the Croatian Parliament (Sabor) over the past two years, accounting for roughly five percent of all 5,774 measures issued since the current term began in May 2024. The penalties comprise 261 warnings, 42 instances where his speaking rights were withdrawn, and a single removal from a parliamentary session.
The most severe sanction – removal from a session – has been applied only 17 times in the same period, with eleven of those cases involving members of the Most party. Jurčević trails only Miro Bulj (187 penalties) and other MPs such as Josip Borić (169), Marin Miletić (168), Hrvoje Zekanović (158) and Ante Deur (150) in the tally of penalties.
