Standing Committee for Internal and Foreign Affairs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Croatian Parliament's Standing Committee for Internal and Foreign Affairs also maintains oversight powers to ensure that all intelligence agencies operate within the national law. It is chaired by the deputy prime minister and consists of the ministers of defense, interior, justice, foreign affairs, European integration and finance. It may launch its own reviews of all ministries and agencies with a national security brief. The committee also approves the regulations of the Joint National Security Committee, which serves as the country's political oversight council. The committee does not have any official capacity to review presidential appointments within the intelligence community and has no budgetary approval.
