ZAGREB, Jan 30 (Hina) - The majority of representatives in the
Croatian parliament, both from the opposition and the ruling
coalition, at Wednesday's individual discussion opposed a proposed
decrease of incentives for individual agricultural crops.
After harsh criticism of a planned decrease of incentives for oil
crops and sugar-beet by the Social Democratic Party (SDP), and a
warning that "this law involved issues related to some other
relations, which need to be solved elsewhere" by Agriculture
Minister Bozidar Pankretic, the discussion switched to relations
in the ruling coalition.
Jadranka Kosor of the opposition's Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ)
said she had a feeling the ruling coalition "is on very slippery
slope with sugar-beet and the sunflower".
Outside the conference room it could be heard that the incentives
have seriously shaken the ruling coalition. According to
unofficial sources, the heads of ruling five parties will discuss
the issue in the afternoon.
