ZAGREB, May 31 (Hina) - Croatia has a population of 4,381,352, which is 2.9 percent less than in 1991, Prime Minister Ivica Racan said at Thursday's government session presenting data from a report by the State Institute for
Statistics on this year's census. Although this year's census cannot be fully compared to the 1991 census because this year a new international standard for the calculation of the population has been applied, the State Institute for Statistics, which conducted the census, estimates that Croatia's entire population has decreased by 2.9 percent, Racan said. The premier also said that there were 1,474,298 private households in Croatia in late March, which was 4.8 percent less compared to 1991. This year's census in Croatia was carried out in early April.(hina) sb rml
