GOVT DISCUSSES OPERATING PLANS OF 12 COMPANIES

ZAGREB, June 25 (Hina) - The Croatian government started its Monday session with the submission of individual reports by 12 heads of the management boards of companies whose sole or majority owner is the state. The reports focus on their business results in 2000 and the first three months of this year. The companies in question are Croatia's oil company INA, Croatian Railways (HZ), the power industry HEP, the Croatian Forest Management, the Jadrolinija shipping agency, Croatian Post, the National Gazette, Croatian Radio Television (HRT), Croatian Telecommunications, the "Plovput" shipping agency, Croatia Airlines and the insurance company Croatia osiguranje. Based on these reports, the government will adopt joint conclusions for all companies and individual ones for each of them. The government is also expected to discuss the agendas of the assemblies of these companies, to hold sessions between June 25 and July 9. Apart from last year's reports, the companies' assemblies are also expected to submit operating plans for this year. It is therefore expected the government will adopt a conclusion saying that operating plans for the current year cannot be adopted only in June. (hina) sb rml
