SPLIT, Aug 11 (Hina) - The Croatian Association of Trade Unions said
in a statement on Wednesday the ninth increase in oil products' prices this
year directly jeopardised fishermen and farmers, brought their survival into
question, and initiated the increase of other products' prices, thus
additionally undermining the social status of a great part of the
population.
The statement signed by HUS vice president Ozren Matijasevic urged the
government to "adopt measures and decisions which will benefit this people
(and) prevent the unfair increase in the prices of energy sources and the
inappropriate behaviour of monopoly companies, such as (oil company) INA in
this case".
The HUS also accused the government of not keeping its pre-election
promises.
