VRPOLJE, July 3 (Hina) - Being dissatisfied with the outcome of negotiations which leaders of farmers, representatives of mill industry and wheat buyers held in Osijek on Tuesday morning, members of the Croatian Farmers' Association
county branch again mounted blockade on roads in Slavonski Brod-Posavina County on Tuesday afternoon. According to local police, a few roads, including a state road in Vrpolje toward the Zagreb-Lipovac motor way, were blocked. A leader of protesters, Ivo Kotarac, said the farmers would be satisfied with the price of 1.10 kuna per kilogram of wheat plus costs, but the offer of one kuna with the term of payment of 15 days did not suit farmers. The protest is likely to spread into other counties on Wednesday. Police are regulating the traffic at all the protest points.(hina) ms
