Representatives of peasants' associations are requesting that "the
state back the wheat as a strategic product".
A guest of the news conference was MP Ivo Loncar, who believes that
"the situation in Croatian agriculture in the past 35 years was
never as bad as today," and that "the agriculture ministry team was
the least competent in the past 30 years".
Loncar said that farmers were unprotected and that, if he were in
their shoes, he would "block the chief road towards the sea during
the weekends," because, he said, "one cannot talk to this
government in a normal, civilised and polite fashion".
