War Veterans Affairs and Inter-Generational Solidarity and Minister
Jadranka Kosor in their bid to amend the law on war veterans' rights
and to stop the revision of veterans' disability status.#L#
Svedrec told a news conference the revision was incorporated in the
law on war veterans' rights from 2001 for the sole purpose of
depriving veterans of their acquired rights.
He urged Kosor's ministry to establish the number of veterans
suffering from post-traumatic stress so as to avoid further
manipulation of this issue.
