Sažetak
This paper analyses the Rules of Procedure of the Croatian Parliament. The Croatian Parliament adopted its first Rules of Procedure in 1861. They remained in force until the adoption of the new Rules of Procedure in 1875, which introduced significant changes in relation to freedom of speech and were quite liberal. Fierce clashes between Members of Parliament from the Party of Right and the Speaker of Parliament and Members of the majority resulted in a substantial tightening of provisions of the 1882 Rules of Procedure. With the appointment of Khuen-Héderváry as Croatian Ban on 1 December 1883, repressive measures began to be systematically applied against the Opposition, including very harsh disciplinary measures aimed at restricting freedom of speech of Opposition Members in the Croatian Parliament. In October 1884, the Rules of Procedure were drastically tightened, and in 1896 the new Rules of Procedure were voted that retained “draconian” punishments introduced in 1884. Harsh punishments of expelling Members from the Parliament for a certain period of time, first introduced in the Rules of Procedure and then applied in practice, and some other measures greatly restricted the freedom of Opposition activities in Parliament.
