}}The '''Croatian Parliament''' ({{langx|hr|Hrvatski sabor}}) or the '''Sabor'''{{refn|group=upper-alpha|Note: the Croatian word ''Sabor'' is used only for the Croatian parliament. For the parliaments of other countries, Croatian speakers use the words ''parlament'' (parliament) or ''skupština'' (assembly).<ref>{{cite web|publisher=Sabor|url=http://www.sabor.hr/Default.aspx?art=23906&sec=2732|title=Hrvatski sabor obilježava Međunarodni dan demokracije|language=hr|trans-title=Croatian Parliament marks the international day of democracy|date=15 September 2009|access-date=10 February 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180807190304/http://www.sabor.hr/Default.aspx?art=23906&sec=2732|archive-date=7 August 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref>}} is the [[Unicameralism|unicameral]] [[legislature]] of [[Croatia]]. Under the terms of the [[Constitution of Croatia|Croatian Constitution]], the Sabor represents the [[nation|people]] and is vested with legislative power. The Sabor is composed of 151 members [[Elections in Croatia|elected]] to a four-year term on the basis of direct, universal and equal [[suffrage]] by [[secret ballot]]. Seats are allocated according to the [[Croatian Parliament electoral districts]]: 140 members of the parliament are elected in multi-seat [[constituency|constituencies]]. An additional three seats are reserved for the [[Croatian diaspora|diaspora]] and [[Croats of Bosnia and Herzegovina|Croats]] in [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]], while [[national minorities]] have eight places reserved in parliament.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2015-11-06|title=Knife-Edge Result Likely in Croatian Elections|url=https://balkaninsight.com/2015/11/06/knife-edge-result-likely-in-croatian-elections-11-05-2015/|access-date=2020-08-07|website=Balkan Insight|language=en-US}}</ref> The Sabor is presided over by a [[Speaker of the Croatian Parliament|Speaker]], who is assisted by at least one deputy speaker (usually four or five deputies).

The Sabor's powers are defined by the [[Constitution of Croatia|Constitution]] and they include: defining economic, legal and political relations in Croatia, preservation and use of its heritage and entering into alliances. The Sabor has the right to deploy the [[Croatian Armed Forces]] abroad, and it may restrict some constitutional rights and liberties in wartime or in cases of imminent war or following natural disasters. The Sabor amends the borders of Croatia or the Constitution, enacts legislation, passes the state budget, declares war and decides on cessation of hostilities, adopts parliamentary resolutions and bylaws, adopts long-term national security and defence strategies, implements civil supervision of the armed forces and security services, calls [[referendum]]s, performs elections and appointments conforming to the constitution and applicable legislation, supervises operations of the [[Government of Croatia|Government]] and other civil services [[responsible government|responsible]] to the parliament, grants amnesty for criminal offences and performs other duties defined by the constitution.

The oldest Sabor with extant records was held in [[Zagreb]] on 19 April 1273. This was the Sabor of [[Slavonia]], and not of [[Croatia proper|Croatia]] and [[Dalmatia]]. The earliest recorded Sabor of the [[Croatia in union with Hungary|Kingdom of Croatia and Dalmatia]] dates to 1350 in Podgrađe near [[Benkovac]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Zasjedanje prvog Općeg sabora Kraljevine Dalmacije i Hrvatske 1350. godine |url=http://www.sabor.hr/hr/o-saboru/povijest-saborovanja/zanimljivosti/zasjedanje-prvog-opceg-sabora-kraljevine-dalmacije-i |access-date=2024-05-21 |website=Hrvatski sabor |language=hr}}</ref> The [[Election in Cetin|Parliament session held in 1527 in Cetin affirmed]] the [[House of Habsburg]] as Croatian rulers. After this, the Sabor became a regular gathering of the nobility, and its official title gradually stabilised by 1558 as the Parliament of the [[Kingdom of Croatia (Habsburg)|Kingdom of Croatia]] and [[Kingdom of Slavonia|Slavonia]]. Since 1681, it has been formally called the Diet of the [[Triune Kingdom|Kingdom of Croatia, Dalmatia and Slavonia]]. In 1712, the Sabor once again invoked its prerogative to select the ruler, supporting what later became the [[Pragmatic Sanction of 1713]]. Since the mid-1800s, the Sabor has regularly met and its members have been regularly elected. Exercising its sovereignty once again on 29 October 1918, the Sabor decided on independence from [[Austria-Hungary]] and formation of the [[State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs]] which later joined the [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia|Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes]]. The Sabor did not meet between 1918 and 1945, except for an unelected Sabor convened in 1942. The Sabor initially reconvened as an assembly of [[State Anti-fascist Council for the National Liberation of Croatia]] (ZAVNOH) in 1943 and evolved since through various structures following the November 1945 elections and several changes of the constitution. After the [[1990 Croatian parliamentary election|first multi-party elections]] since [[Socialist Republic of Croatia|Communist rule]] and the adoption of the 1990 constitution, the Sabor was [[Bicameralism|bicameral]] (Chamber of Representatives and Chamber of Counties) until 2001, when constitutional amendments changed it to the unicameral form currently used.

In 1848, first modern Diet with the elected representatives was summoned (even high nobility and high dignitaries of the Catholic and Orthodox church remained ''ex officio'' members). The Sabor operated as the legislative authority during the existence of the [[Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia]] (1848/1868 – 1918). The [[Revolutions of 1848|events of 1848]] in Europe and in the [[Revolutions of 1848 in the Habsburg areas|Austrian Empire]] represent a watershed in Croatian society and politics, given their linkage to the [[Croatian national revival]] that strongly influenced and significantly shaped political and social events in Croatia from that point onwards to the end of the 20th century. At the time, the Sabor advocated the implicit severance of ties with the [[Kingdom of Hungary (1538–1867)|Kingdom of Hungary]], emphasizing links to other [[South Slavs|South Slavic]] lands within the empire. A period of [[neo-absolutism]] was followed by the [[Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867]] and [[Croatian–Hungarian Settlement]], recognizing the limited independence of Croatia, together with reinvigorated claims of uninterrupted Croatian statehood.<ref name="Matković-parties" /> Two political parties that evolved in the 1860s and contributed significantly to this sentiment were the [[Party of Rights (1861–1929)]] and the [[People's Party (Kingdom of Croatia)|People's Party]]. They were opposed by the [[Croatian-Hungarian Party|National Constitutional Party]] that was in power for most of the period between the 1860s and 1918, which advocated closer ties between Croatia and Hungary. Another significant party formed in this era was the [[Serb People's Independent Party]], which would later form the [[Croat-Serb Coalition]] with the Party of Rights and other Croat and Serb parties. This Coalition ruled Croatia between 1903 and 1918. The Croatian Peasant Party (HSS), established in 1904 and led by [[Stjepan Radić]], advocated Croatian autonomy but achieved only moderate gains by 1918.<ref name="Matković-parties">{{cite journal|journal=Review of Croatian History|issn=1845-4380|publisher=Croatian Institute of History|volume=6|issue=1|date=April 2011|author=Stjepan Matković|title=Croatian-Slovenian relations in politics, 1848–1914: examples of mutual ties|pages=115–132|url=http://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=100777|access-date=15 November 2011}}</ref> In the [[Kingdom of Dalmatia]], two major parties were the [[People's Party (Kingdom of Dalmatia)|People's Party]], a branch of the People's Party active in the [[Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia]], and the [[Autonomist Party]], which advocated maintaining the autonomy of Dalmatia, opposing the People's Party's demands for unifying Croatia-Slavonia and Dalmatia. The Autonomist Party was also linked to [[Italian irredentism]].
[[File:Sabor 1914.jpg|thumb|The Sabor in [[1914]]]]

By the 1900s, the Party of Rights also made electoral gains in Dalmatia.<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Radovi Zavoda za povijesne znanosti HAZU u Zadru|publisher=[[Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts]]|url=http://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=18696|issn=1330-0474|title=O broju Talijana/talijanaša u Dalmaciji XIX. stoljeća|language=hr|trans-title=Concerning the Number of Italians/Pro-Italians in Dalmatia in the 19th Century|author=Šime Peričić|issue=45|date=September 2003|pages=327–355|access-date=15 November 2011}}</ref> In Dalmatia, the Autonomists won the first three elections held there in 1861, 1864 and 1867, while those from 1870 to 1908 were won by the People's Party.

Exercising its sovereignty once again on 29 October 1918, the Sabor decided on independence from [[Austria-Hungary]] and formation of the [[State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs]].

During Communist rule, the Sabor went from a unicameral parliament as specified by the 1947 constitution, to bicameral in 1953, changing again in 1963 to as many as five chambers and then to three in 1974.

In December, [[Ivica Račan]] became the head of the reformed Communist party. At this time, the Communist party decided to cancel political trials, release political prisoners and endorse a [[multi-party system|multi-party political system]]. The Civil Organisations Act was formally amended to allow multiple political parties on 11 January 1990, legalising the new parties. By the time of the first round of the [[1990 Croatian parliamentary election|first multi-party elections]], held on 22 April 1990, there were 33 registered parties. There were single-seat constituencies for half of the seats and a single nationwide constituency (through election lists) for the remaining seats.<ref name="Podolnjak">{{cite journal|url=http://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=49607|title=Hrvatsko izborno zakonodavstvo: moguće i nužne promjene|trans-title=Croatian electoral legislation: possible and necessary amendments|language=hr|pages=305–343|journal=Zbornik Radova Pravnog Fakulteta U Splitu|publisher=University of Split, Faculty of Law|issn=0584-9063|author=Robert Podolnjak|volume=45|issue=2|date=September 2008|access-date=12 February 2012}}</ref> Still, the most relevant parties and coalitions were the renamed Communist party (the League of Communists of Croatia&nbsp;— Party of Democratic Changes), the HDZ and the [[Coalition of People's Accord]] (KNS), which included the HSLS, led by [[Dražen Budiša]], and the HSS, which resumed operating in Croatia in December 1989.<ref name="HSS-Statut">{{cite web|publisher=[[Croatian Peasant Party]]|url=http://www.hss.hr/o-nama/statut|language=hr|title=Statut|trans-title=Constitution|access-date=15 November 2011|date=19 December 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|journal=Radovi Zavoda za povijesne znanosti HAZU u Zadru|publisher=Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts|issn=1330-0474|language=hr|url=http://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=95848|title=Začetci višestranačja u Hrvatskoj 1989. godine|trans-title=The Origins of the Multi-Party System in Croatia in 1989|author=Šime Dunatov|issue=52|date=December 2010|pages=381–397|access-date=15 November 2011}}</ref> The [[runoff election]], open to any candidate receiving at least 7% of the vote,<ref name="Podolnjak"/> was held on 6 May 1990.

==Parliamentary powers==

The Parliament [[Representative democracy|represents]] the citizens of the [[Republic of Croatia]]; it acts as the country's [[legislature]]. It convenes regularly in two sessions each year, from 15 January to 15 July and from 15 September to 15 December; however, extraordinary sessions may be called by the [[President of Croatia]], the [[government of Croatia]] or a majority of the parliamentary members. The sessions are open to the public. The parliament decides through [[Majority|simple majority]] votes, except in issues pertaining to (constitutionally recognised) [[ethnic minorities in Croatia]], the constitution, electoral legislation, the scope and operational methods of governmental bodies and local government; in these cases, decisions are made by [[Supermajority|two-thirds majority]] votes. The parliament may authorise the government to enact regulations dealing with matters normally covered by parliamentary acts. Such regulations expire one year after the authorisation is issued. The authorisation does not apply to matters that must be decided upon by a parliamentary two-thirds vote. Legislation enacted by the parliament is either endorsed by the President of Croatia within eight days or referred to the [[Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia]].<ref name="Ustav-RH" />

The members are granted [[parliamentary immunity]]; their criminal prosecution is possible only after parliamentary consent, except for crimes with five or more years of imprisonment mandated. The parliament may appoint investigative commissions for any matter of public interest.<ref name="Ustav-RH">{{cite news|newspaper=Narodne Novine|language=hr|url=http://narodne-novine.nn.hr/clanci/sluzbeni/2010_07_85_2422.html|title=Ustav Republike Hrvatske|trans-title=Constitution of the Republic of Croatia|date=9 July 2010|access-date=11 October 2011}}</ref>

The Croatian parliament's powers are defined by the Constitution of Croatia. These include: defining economic, legal and political relations in the Republic of Croatia; preservation of Croatia's natural and cultural heritage and its utilisation; and forming alliances with other states. The parliament has the right to deploy [[Croatian Armed Forces]] abroad. It may also restrict constitutional rights and liberties in wartime or in cases of imminent war or following natural disasters, although that constitutional provision is limited to specific rights—right to life, prohibition of torture, cruel or denigrating conduct or punishment, upholding of [[habeas corpus]] and freedoms of thought, conscience and religious views. In addition, in those circumstances parliamentary members' terms may be extended. (As these rights are defined by the constitution, the decision would require a two-thirds majority. Since Croatia never declared a state of war during the [[breakup of Yugoslavia]], this option has not been exercised in practice.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=[[Nacional (weekly)]] |url=http://www.nacional.hr/clanak/29793/visak-generala-hv-u-prepreka-za-nato |title=Višak generala HV-u prepreka za NATO |trans-title=Surplus of Croatian Army generals is an obstacle to NATO |language=hr |date=11 December 2006 |author=Eduard Šoštarić |access-date=12 February 2012 |archive-date=9 May 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130509140713/http://www.nacional.hr/clanak/29793/visak-generala-hv-u-prepreka-za-nato |url-status=live }}</ref>) The parliament reserves the right to amend the borders of Croatia.

The Government is [[responsible government|responsible]] to the parliament; some other institutions, such as the [[Croatian National Bank]] and the State Audit Office, also report directly to the parliament. The parliament appoints an [[ombudsman]] to promote and protect human rights and liberties established by the constitution, parliamentary legislation and treaties adopted by Croatia. The ombudsman is appointed for an eight-year term; the ombudsman's work is independent. The ombudsman, as well as all other persons authorised to act on behalf of the parliament, is granted parliamentary immunity equal to that enjoyed by parliamentary members.<ref name="Ustav-RH"/>

The members of Sabor can be members of one or more of its committees. The working body has a president, vice-president and members of the working body from the ranks of representatives, unless otherwise specified in the Rules of Procedure. The composition of the working body generally corresponds to the party composition of the Parliament.<ref>{{cite web |title=Radna tijela |url=https://www.sabor.hr/hr/radna-tijela |website=sabor.hr |publisher=Croatian Parliament |access-date=30 May 2024}}</ref>

The parliamentary committees debate and discuss initiatives and motions ahead of the enactment of laws, other regulations and other matters within the authority of the Sabor. Prior to the debate on any bill proposed by the government or deputies at the Sabor session, the chairperson of the competent working body and the Legislation Committee are obligated to place that bill on the agenda of the session of the working body and conduct a debate on it. Furthermore, the Committees hold hearings on the petitions and proposals submitted to Sabor by citizens.<ref>{{cite web |title=POSLOVNIK HRVATSKOGA  SABORA (PROČIŠĆENI TEKST) |url=https://www.sabor.hr/sites/default/files/uploads/inline-files/Poslovnik%20Hrvatskoga%20sabora%20-%20procisceni%20tekst%202018.pdf |website=sabor.hr |publisher=Croatian Parliament |access-date=30 May 2024 |language=hr}}</ref>

==Composition==
{{Croatian MP lists}}
{{Update|date=October 2020}}
{{Main|Elections in Croatia#Parliamentary elections}}

The [[Constitution of Croatia]] mandates that the parliament consists of at least 100 members and no more than 160 members, elected by a direct [[secret ballot]] for four-year terms. Parliamentary elections are held within 60 days following the term's expiration or parliamentary dissolution (the latter takes place with a parliamentary no-confidence vote or if the parliament fails to approve a state budget within 120&nbsp;days after the government submits one for approval), and a new parliament must convene within 20 days after the elections.<ref name="Ustav-RH" />

As specified by the current electoral legislation in Croatia, 140 members of the Parliament are elected in multi-seat [[Croatian Parliament electoral districts|constituencies]], up to 3 members are chosen by [[proportional representation]] to represent Croatian citizens residing abroad and 8 members represent ethnic and national communities or minorities (including "undeclared", "unknown", or otherwise other than constitutionally recognized groups).<ref name="Sabor-about">{{cite web|publisher=Sabor|url=http://www.sabor.hr/Default.aspx?sec=713|title=About the Parliament|access-date=14 October 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160706061905/http://www.sabor.hr/Default.aspx?sec=713|archive-date=6 July 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The model of parliamentary elections is based on the [[Christmas Constitution]] (1990), but has been significantly modified four times since then, most recently in 1999.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.izbori.hr/izbori/ip.nsf/WPDS/AFC7860F3118287AC1257448002FB15B?open&1 | language = hr | title = Izborni modeli za parlamentarne izbore | work = Izborna enciklopedija | year = 2008 | publisher = State Election Committee (Državno izborno povjerenstvo) | access-date = 31 December 2015}}</ref>
The most recent substantial revision of the election law came in February 2015, and was partially upheld by the [[Constitutional Court of Croatia|Constitutional Court]] in September 2015. An element of preferential voting was introduced by letting voters choose not only for a list of candidates, but also a single member of the same list. If the percentage of votes for a candidate exceeds 10%, they are elected as if it was an [[open list]] system. The list ranking is maintained for those candidates that do not meet this quota.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.europeanvoice.com/article/croatian-parliament-backs-changes-to-electoral-law/ |title=Croatian parliament backs changes to electoral law |publisher=europeanvoice.com |date=2015-02-26 |access-date=2015-02-26}}</ref>

===Previous parliamentary elections===
[[File:Croatian parliamentary seats 1992-2020.png|thumb|right|480px|alt=Graph|Croatian parliamentary election results, 1992–2020; parties winning 10 seats or more at any individual election shown individually]]
Since 1990, seven parliamentary elections have been held in Croatia. The elections held in 1990 were the first multi-party elections following 45 years of Communist rule. The Parliament had three chambers at the time; the candidates ran for all 80 seats in the Social-Political Council of Croatia, all 116 seats to the Municipalities Council of Croatia and all 160 seats to the Associated Labour Council of Croatia. The first round of the election saw a turnout of 85.5%; the turnout for the runoff election was 74.8%. In this election, the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) won 205 seats and the Social Democratic Party of Croatia won 107. Between then and 2007, five parliamentary elections were held for the Chamber of Deputies ({{langx|hr|Zastupnički dom}}) of the parliament or the unicameral parliament since (in 1992, 1995, 2000, 2003 and 2007). Starting with the 1992 elections, the number of seats first in the Chamber of Deputies, and then in the unicameral parliament, were significantly variable: ranging from 127 in 1995 to 153 in 2007. In the Croatian parliamentary elections held since 1992, when the number of seats in the parliament was limited to below 160, only 5 parties have won 10 seats or more in any one parliamentary election. These were the HDZ, the Croatian Peasant Party (HSS), the Croatian People's Party&nbsp;– Liberal Democrats (HNS), the [[Croatian Social Liberal Party]] (HSLS) and the SDP.<ref name="Arhiva-Izbora">{{cite web|publisher=State Election Commission|url=http://www.izbori.hr/arhiva/arhiva.html|title=Arhiva izbora|trans-title=Elections Archive|language=hr|access-date=13 November 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111031012140/http://www.izbori.hr/arhiva/arhiva.html|archive-date=31 October 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Several political parties, besides the HDZ, HSS, HNS, HSLS and SDP, have won parliamentary seats in the elections since 1990. These have been (in alphabetical order): the [[Alliance of Primorje-Gorski Kotar]] (previously named Rijeka Democratic Alliance), the [[Croatian Christian Democratic Union]], the Croatian Citizen Party, the Croatian Democratic Alliance of Slavonia and Baranja, the [[Croatian Democratic Peasant Party]], the [[Croatian Independent Democrats]], the Croatian Party of Pensioners, the [[Croatian Party of Rights]], the Croatian Party of Rights dr. Ante Starčević, the [[Dalmatian Action]] party, the Democratic Centre party, the Istrian Democratic Assembly, the [[Liberal Party (Croatia)|Liberal Party]], the [[Party of Liberal Democrats]], the [[Serb Democratic Party (Croatia)|Serb Democratic Party]], the [[Slavonia-Baranja Croatian Party]], and the [[Social Democratic Action of Croatia]] party.<ref name="Arhiva-Izbora"/>
The following parties have won special seats reserved for representatives elected by<ref group=upper-alpha>The representatives themselves are not required to be minorities, but are historically very likely to be.</ref> [[national minority|minorities]] (also in alphabetical order): the Bosnian Democratic Party of Croatia, the [[Democratic Union of Hungarians of Croatia]], the [[German People's Union&nbsp;– National Association of Danube Swabians in Croatia]], the Independent Democratic Serb Party, the [[Party of Democratic Action of Croatia]], and the [[Serb People's Party (Croatia)|Serb People's Party]].<ref name="Arhiva-Izbora"/>

In addition, some [[independent (politician)|independent]]s have won seats through party lists by being elected as an independent running on a party's list, and [[Ivan Grubišić]]'s list of non-partisan candidates has won seats as well.<ref name="Arhiva-Izbora"/> Since individuals (not parties) possess parliamentary seats once won, there also can be (and have been) instances where seat-holders became independent or switched to another political party.<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Politička Misao|issn=0032-3241|publisher=[[University of Zagreb]], Faculty of Political Science|volume=36|issue=3|date=September 1999|url=http://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=50836|pages=151–174|title=Strukturna dinamika hrvatskog parlamenta|language=hr|trans-title=Structural Dynamics of the Croatian Parliament|access-date=13 November 2011}}</ref>

==Chamber of Counties==
{{See also|Speaker of the Chamber of Counties of Croatia}}
Under the Constitution of Croatia adopted in 1990, the parliament became [[bicameral]]. The Chamber of Deputies had been elected a few months earlier; its members enacted legislation creating a new [[Administrative divisions of Croatia|territorial organisation of Croatia]]. This reorganisation included [[Counties of Croatia|counties]] that were to be represented by the new Chamber of Counties ({{langx|hr|Županijski dom}}). The [[1993 Croatian Chamber of Counties election|first election]] of members of the chamber was on 7 February 1993, with each of the counties acting as a three-seat constituency using proportional representation. In addition, as per Article 71 of the 1990 constitution, the President of Croatia was given the option of appointing up to 5 additional members of the Chamber of Counties; it could have as many as 68 members.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=HIDRA|url=http://digured.hr/cadial/searchdoc.php?query=Zakon+o+izmjenama+i+dopunama+Kaznenog+zakona&searchText=on&searchTitle=on&filteracttype=all&filtereuchapter=all&resultlimitnum=10&action=search&filterfields=35338&resultoffset=&lang=en&annotate=on&bid=v8ewpwn3TzF4b21Qt8aGNw%3D%3D|title=Ustav Republike Hrvatske (NN 056/1990)|language=hr|trans-title=Constitution of the Republic of Croatia (NN 056/1990)|access-date=11 February 2012}}</ref> The [[1997 Croatian Chamber of Counties election|second and last election]] for the Chamber of Counties of the parliament was on 13 April 1997.<ref name="Arhiva-Izbora"/><ref name="CC-1997">{{cite web|publisher=State Election Commission|url=http://www.izbori.hr/izbori/ipFiles.nsf/0/9AE655F84501F7B6C1257455003AD695/$FILE/1997_županijski%20dom.pdf|language=hr|title=Rezultati izbora za županijski dom Sabora Republike Hrvatske 1997. godine|trans-title=Results of Election for the Chamber of Counties of the Parliament of the Republic of Croatia in Year 1997|access-date=13 November 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131102082245/http://www.izbori.hr/izbori/ipFiles.nsf/0/9AE655F84501F7B6C1257455003AD695/$FILE/1997_%C5%BEupanijski%20dom.pdf|archive-date=2 November 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref> The Chamber of Counties was abolished by a 2001 constitutional amendment.<ref name="CC-Hist">{{cite web|publisher=[[Croatian Constitutional Court]] |url=http://www.usud.hr/default.aspx?Show=c_o_sudu&G1=&G2=&G3=&m1=15&m2=0&Lang=en |title=History of Croatian Constitutional Judicature |access-date=9 November 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120415021807/http://www.usud.hr/default.aspx?Show=c_o_sudu&G1=&G2=&G3=&m1=15&m2=0&Lang=en |archive-date=15 April 2012 }}</ref>

==Parliamentary location==
{{main|Sabor Palace}}
[[File:Predstavljanje nove Vlade RH (6558623193) (2).jpg|thumb|The main hall of the Croatian parliament.]]
The Sabor has convened in Zagreb since the 13th century, but there was no special building for this until the 18th century. Previously, sessions of the Sabor had been held in private houses, in royal estates in [[Gradec, Zagreb|Gradec]] and at the bishop's residence.<ref name="hist-palace"/> During the [[Croatian-Ottoman Wars]], which severely disrupted the functioning of the Croatian kingdom, the Sabor's sessions became so impractical that the 1685 session decided to have the ban appoint a six-member committee to do the work of the Sabor when sessions were not possible. This body became operational in 1689 and had its mandate extended through the entire 18th and into the 19th century. This ''{{lang|la|Conferentia Regnorum Croatiae, Dalmatiae et Slavoniae}}'' consisted of the ban, two high clerics and three or four noblemen, and it would bring forward numerous acts; it met in various places, usually Zagreb or [[Varaždin]], but also in [[Čiče]], [[Ludbreg]], [[Kerestinec]], [[Vienna]], [[Želin]], [[Bratislava]], [[Klenovnik, Croatia|Klenovnik]], [[Slunj]], [[Glina, Croatia|Glina]], [[Petrinja]], [[Rasinja]], [[Ptuj]] and [[Budim]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.sabor.hr/Default.aspx?art=1739 | language = hr | title = Hrvatska kraljevinska konferencija iz 1729. donijela prvi proračun hrvatskoga kraljevstva | work = Saborske povijesne zanimljivosti | publisher = Croatian Parliament | access-date = 30 December 2011 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120119162230/http://www.sabor.hr/Default.aspx?art=1739 | archive-date = 19 January 2012 | url-status = dead }}</ref>

In 1731, the government purchased houses at the site of the present building and construction of a new building started the next year. The Sabor first met in the new building on 6 May 1737. The building was originally designed to accommodate [[Croatian State Archives|archives]], [[Tabula Banalis|the court]] and the office of the ban; however, the government of [[Zagreb County (former)|Zagreb County]] moved in as well in 1765. The ban's office, the court and the archives moved out of the building in 1807, when a building across [[St. Mark's Square, Zagreb|St. Mark's Square]] was bought to accommodate them. Subsequently, the newly purchased building was named [[Banski dvori]] after its new primary purpose of housing the ban and his office. The Zagreb County government purchased buildings adjacent to the parliament in 1839 and commissioned a new building at the site. It was completed in 1849; in the meantime, the Sabor had to convene elsewhere; it met in a theatre building located on a corner of the square. The theatre building later became the [[Old City Hall (Zagreb)|Zagreb City Hall]].<ref name="hist-palace"/>

In 1907, the government of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia bought the parliament building and adjacent structures, starting construction of the present parliament building. At the same time, the Zagreb County government moved its headquarters elsewhere, leaving the Sabor as the sole user. The present parliament building was completed in 1911 using the design of Lav Kalda and Karlo Susan.<ref name="hist-palace">{{cite web|publisher=Sabor|language=hr|url=http://www.sabor.hr/Default.aspx?sec=484|title=Povijest saborske palače|trans-title=History of the parliament palace|access-date=30 December 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120504171647/http://www.sabor.hr/Default.aspx?sec=484|archive-date=4 May 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Due to the renovation works on the Sabor Palace following the events of the [[2020 Zagreb earthquake]], in 2024 the parliament has decided to temporarily relocate to the [[Črnomerec]] district, in the Petar Zrinski Barracks, the site of the {{ill|Croatian Military Academy "Dr. Franjo Tuđman"|hr|Hrvatsko vojno učilište „dr. Franjo Tuđman”}}.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=Telegram.hr|language=hr|url=https://www.telegram.hr/politika-kriminal/objavljeni-svi-detalji-o-preseljenju-sabora-u-zgrade-na-crnomercu-ulozit-ce-se-oko-dva-milijuna-eura/|title="Objavljeni svi detalji o preseljenju Sabora: u zgrade na Črnomercu uložit će se oko dva milijuna eura"|access-date=24 February 2024}}</ref> The exact date of the relocation and of the beginning of the reconstruction are not yet known.
