[01] YUGOSLAV PARLIAMENT ADOPTS LAW ON ELECTION UNITSBelgrade, June 18 (Tanjug) - The Lower House of the Yugoslav Parliament adopted at its extrardinary session on Tuesday amendments to the Law on Election Units for Election of Deputies, changing the total number of units in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to 36 from 10.Under the amended law Serbia will have 29 election units instead of nine and Montenegro seven insted of one. The Upper House of Parliament adopted the law a month ago. Yugoslav Deputy Prime Minsiter Uros Klikovac said in the parliamentary discussion that the law does not change the election system in the country and does not eliminate the proportional system as claimed by opposition deputies. [02] YUGOSLAV PARLIAMENT ADOPTS AMNESTY LAWBelgrade, June 18 (Tanjug) - The Lower House of the Yugoslav Parliament adopted on Tuesday an Amnesty Law which relates to 12,500 persons. The legal act provides for the exemption from criminal proceedings and execution of sentences and anullment of sentences pronounced on all draft dodgers. The amnesty will cover 12,500 persons who committed the criminal act of failing to report when summoned and draft dodging or of deliberately leaving or deserting the armed forces in the period since the breakout of the war in the territory of the former Yugoslavia in 1991 to December 14, 1995.The amnesty does not refer to professional soldiers, in other words to active officers. The Upper hHuse of the Parliament adopted the law in mid-May. Yugoslav Defence Minsiter Pavle Bulatovic recalled that Yugoslavia had not been a party to the war and that this session was not an occasion to speak about the political causes and consequences of the breakup of the former Yugoslavia. Bulatovic stressed that the amnesty bill had not been drawn up under the pressure of the international community but at the initiative of the Yugoslav Supreme Defence Council. [03] YUGOSLAV PARLIAMENT DEBATES CHANGE OF SOCIAL PROPERTY OWNERSHIPBelgrade, June 18 (Tanjug) - Yugoslav Prime Minister Radoje Kontic said in Parliament on Tuesday that the adoption of draft systemic laws would give the country a modern economic system on the lines of those in states with developed market economies. Kontic submitted the opening report in a debate on a draft Law on the Basis for Changing the Ownership of Social Capital Goods, which signalled the beginning of a debate on systemic laws.He said that the ownership structure was still insufficiently adjusted to suit the requirements of an open market economy, which was the legacy of the previous inadequate system, the Yugoslav crisis, sanctions and other causes. Kontic said that the lag in development could be made up for compratively fast in the coming period, as there were the basic natural, human and industrial resources to do so. He refuted claims by individual deputies that the draft laws were not market-oriented and were not in the service of the privatisation process. He stressed that the bills recognised the management of firms on the basis of the market laws, drew a clear line between the owners and managers, and envisaged for a certain degree of workers' participation in management. 'Our reality and the experience of some countries in transition indicate that it is better in the circumstances to ensure a gradual and unforced privatisation pace, than apply radical and uncertain state measures,' Kontic said. He spoke also about a draft Law on Foreign Investment which gives foreigners the treatment of Yugoslav nationals and offers maximum facilities to motivate foreign investment. He said that the bill was restrictive only in the spheres of the military industry and information. 'A speedy normalisation with international financial and commercial bodies and with regional and European organisations is in the country's strategic interest,' Kontic said. [04] YUGOSLAV TRADE MINISTERS' VISIT TO BRITAINLondon, June 18 (Tanjug) - Yugoslav Trade Minister Djordje Siradovic attended a seminar on Yugoslavia's economic possibilities on Tueseday.
