ZAGREB, Sept 6 (Hina) - The implementation of a programme for the development of small businesses by 2004 can facilitate the creation of 133,000 new jobs as planned. An important role in the implementation of this programme can be
played by 91,000 Croatian craftsmen who are able to employ many new workers, said an assistant to Croatia's minister in charge of crafts and small and medium-sized businesses, Dragan Katalenic, at a meeting with Croatian craftsmen on Thursday. The topic of the meeting, which took place at the Croatian Chamber of Crafts, was the enforcement of a law on crafts which has been in force since July. Craftsmen agreed that Croatia should follow the example set by Lombardy and Portugal where good projects in small and medium businesses gave impetus to their economies and helped increase exports.(hina) ms
