Government, Legislature

The Croatian State Assembly, or Sabor, consists of a Chamber of Representatives, which adopts all laws, and a Chamber of Counties, which can only propose or request reconsideration of laws. The Chamber of Representatives is composed of 127 directly elected members, and there are provisions for adding additional members if those directly elected do not include representatives of minority communities. The Chamber of Counties has 68 members, 3 from each of the country’s 21 counties elected by direct popular vote, and 5 nominated by the president. Members of both chambers serve four-year terms.
