POLJANA, Sept 4 (Hina) - About 40 farmers set up a blockade on the county road from Lipik via Poljana to Kutina (some 60 kilometres east of Zagreb) on Monday morning insisting on the payment of the wheat they had already given to some
companies. The protest rally was previously announced by the Association of Farmers of Slavonia and Baranja. According to a leader of the association, the protesters will remove the blockade as soon as they receive the money for the wheat they sold. They have also insisted that Croatian Agriculture Minister Bozidar Pankratic give assurances that they will get their money as soon as possible, or the farmers will expand their protest. Leaders of the association will hold news conference today to inform the public of their further steps. This morning local police directed drivers to bypass the blocked spot and use other roads.(hina) ms
