Minority reps. on free legal service, under-representation in state administration

ZAGREB, March 9 (Hina) - Two parliamentary representatives of ethnic minorities on Friday urged the adoption of a law regulating free legal aid and the revision of the existing plan for the employment of ethnic minority members in the state administration.

Ethnic Serb leader Milorad Pupovac told a news conference in Zagreb that it remained unclear why the government had not yet sent to parliament a bill on free legal aid, although the first draft of the bill was completed in 2005.

He warned that this was a part of national legislation which Croatia should adjust to European Union standards.

Pupovac said that lawyers' fees were high for citizens living near the poverty line which prevented them from taking legal actions.

The parliamentarian representing the Italian minority, Furio Radin, spoke about the under-representation of minority ethnic people in the state administration.

Radin criticised the Central State Office for Public Administration for allocating an insufficient number of vacancies in the public administration for minorities in 2007.

The two MPs also criticised the Croatian television for persistently ignoring their work.
