The head of the parliamentary Committee on Labour and Social Care,
Snjezana Biga Friganovic, supported requests that the rights of all
disabled people, regardless of what caused their disability, be
equated.
She said that demobilised war veterans were given high allowances
after the war in an attempt to "buy social peace", although it was
known that this burdened the state budget.
