Commenting on the incumbent government's first year in office,
Boris Kunst said suitable people were being appointed to all key
positions rather than experts with the experience and know-how
necessary to deal with economic issues.
Speaking to reporters in Virovitica, Kunst said citizens had
expected faster changes and a quicker pace in the tackling of
economic and social issues, but were disappointed instead.
The union leader thinks the government lacks organisation in its
activity and is uncertain in making some decisions, for instance by
failing to cut Value Added Tax, increase excise duties, or
regularly pay salaries in companies in which the state has a 20-
percent minimum interest.
