OSIJEK, Nov 29 (Hina) - The Association of Slavonija and Baranja farmers (ZUSSB) is dissatisfied with the agriculture budget for 2002. The farmers believe that extensive damage was done the agriculture industry, ZUSSB heads told a
press conference in the eastern Croatian city of Osijek Thursday. Budget item for subsidies and stimulation "has been negligibly increased", which the farmers' associations assess as unpermissable considering the situation at a highly subsidised global market. The ZUSSB assessed the fact that the agricultural production stimulation was not increasing as "a victory of trade lobby". The ZUSSB announced it would sign a protocol on the organisation of a joint public protest, outside the Croatian government and parliament on December 12, together with several other associations and trade unions. They will protest against "the unbearable economic and social situation in agriculture." (h
