RULING COALITION LEADERS DISCUSS LABOUR LEGISLATURE REFORM

ZAGREB, Jan 13 (Hina) - The president of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Ivica Racan, on Monday informed reporters that the leaders of the five ruling coalition parties on Monday discussed preparations for the next parliament session and the reform of the labour legislature. #L# Racan said the government would forward a bill on labour to the parliament very soon. "We also discussed privatisation, so a report on what was done in this area in the past three years will be presented at the next government session," said Racan. Government members will use arguments to prove wrong claims that Croatia is being sold out at a galloping rate, Racan said. "We agreed that the leaders of the ruling coalition debate the issue again next week, if consultations about the 'Suncani Hvar' hotel company will be necessary," he said. "The talks also focused on some personnel issues about which there will be more to say once they are included in the government agenda, probably as soon as the next session, with emphasis on diplomacy," Racan told reporters ahead of his party's presidency session.
