ZAGREB, Jan 24 (Hina) - The government supports and will consider every proposal aimed at finding the best solution to return childbirth allowance to last year's level, Prime Minister Ivica Racan told parliament's House of
Representatives on Wednesday. Asked by Democratic Centre representative Vesna Skare-Ozbolt if the government would find a solution to that end, Racan said during Question Morning that "we will be able to discuss a solution in the near future." He stressed the government was not happy with a decision reducing childbirth allowance, but reminded it had been necessary and was temporary until a better one was found. We support all efforts and petitions to have childbirth allowance returned to last year's level, and I believe many members of the government have signed those petitions, said Racan.
