This is the government's contribution to the reduction of expenses and raising the living standards, as was the case with VAT reduction in the tourism sector, Sanader told reporters.
The PM said Croatia must deal with immigration policy because the country was faced with a lack of labour, adding that 80,000 new jobs have been opened in the economic sector in the past three years.
Sanader said that the government's objective for the next four years was to reduce the unemployment rate to six percent, on condition of Croatia's joining NATO and the EU.
Commenting on the ruling against one of the leaders of Serb rebels in Croatia, Milan Martic, whom the ICTY sentenced to 35 years in jail, Sanader said this was his first piece of information on the verdict, declining to comment on the sentence in detail. He, however, stressed that Martic ordered rocket attacks on downtown Zagreb and that he was responsible for many deaths. The PM said he would comment on the ruling more extensively after he got acquainted with the verdict in detail.
