Zagreb, 13th of November 2013 - Within the third Department of the Academy for the organizational strengthening of the party, thirty officials of CPP's Zagrebačka County at the invitation of Political Academy visited the Croatian Parliament.
At the very beginning Stanko Borić, advisor of CPP's Club greeted all present participants and after the tour of the Parliament our MPs Sonja König, Nada Turina Đuric, Goran Beus Richembergh, Peter Baranović, as well as president of the Club Jozo Radoš welcomed them.
In the Club they discussed the work of the Club and all present were familiar with many CPP's initiatives in making or changing laws. Also, it was noted how the inclusion of officials and members of the CPP's county organizations is needed in order for the Club to function as best as possible.
Jozo Radoš spoke about the work of the Club, parliamentary offices and committees, as well as the responsibilities and problems in work which accompany parliamentary representatives. He also introduced everyone to the work of the parliamentary representatives, that is the jobs they carry out, but which aren't visible to the public (committees).
During their visit MPs Petar Baranović on behalf of the CPP Club and Boris Blažeković individually have spoken about the participation of members of the armed forces in peace-support operation KFOR in Kosovo from 1st January 2012th to 23rd March 2013
After the official visit to the Parliament, they held a working meeting in the Academy about the work and difficulties in work of CPP's presidents of branches as well as how the party should operate in the upcoming period. About these topics spoke Boris Blažeković, Head of CPP's Political Academy and MP.
"Branch is the basic organizational form of CPP and that is why Academy seeks tighter communication with presidents of branches from each of our county organization. Visits to the Croatian Parliament and the Academy serve all of us in order to find new channels of communication and enable us to work better", said Blažeković.
Also, he announced the new event in the Academy's academic year 2013./2014. within the second Department for additional education in general policy.
"On the 2nd session of the Presidency of CPP in the current mandate, the Presidency adopted the draft of the annual work program of the Academy, where in the second Department for additional education in general policy MPs visit county organizations and conduct public hearings and roundtables. It is the kind of communication with wich we can intensify our activities and be recognizable to the public", said Blažeković.
Because of ongoing inner party elections in the field, CPP's Political Academy will continue to organize lectures and training for presidents of branches for all CPP county organizations in the upcoming period.
The next visit organised by the Academy shall be held on the 4th December when we will host Međimurska County.
