The programme of the new government reminds of the epistles of the
former Croatian President because it presents goals without
offering measures or deadlines for achieving them, except for a
four-year mandate, HUS president Zdenko Mucnjak said.
The HUS welcomes the Government's announcement that it would draw
up an economic strategy of Croatia, however the Government must
first solve the problem of illiquidity. Also, if the Government
wishes negotiations on social truce, it should secure regular
payment of earned salaries, Mucnjak said.
Although he welcomes the new draft budget, Mucnjak doubts that it
will be possible to implement it. "We warned last year that a budget
of 48 billion kuna was unrealistic because the economy could take a
budget of some 41-41 billion kuna, and this year the situation is
even more difficult, Mucnjak said.
