The council, composed of 17 experts in different scientific fields and of different political inclina- tions, produced a document in two sections. The first part describes the experiences of Croatian society in the 20th century when the country was faced with totalitarian regimes. The second part of the document refers to possibilities for improv- ing the country’s legal framework. Plenkovic an- nounced on March 1 that the justice ministry and the public administration ministry will consider those recommendations.
