ZAGREB, Feb 22 (Hina) - Croatian Premier Zlatko Matesa on Monday
told reporters in Zagreb the new candidates for the government are
Milena Zic-Fuchs as science and technology minister and Ivan
Djurkic as agriculture and forestry minister.
Matesa said those were the only changes to date related to the
announced government reshuffle which, he added, would be completed
by the beginning of summer.
Zic-Fuchs comes from the university milieu, is familiar with its
structure and functioning, and has collaborated on a series of
scientific projects, the Premier said, adding the new science and
technology minister candidate is a good combination of practical
work and science.
Zic-Fuchs is a senior lecturer at the English Department at the
Faculty of Philosophy in Zagreb, and a guest lecturer at
universities in Rijeka and Mostar.
Speaking about Djurkic, Matesa said the new agriculture and
forestry minister candidate was a man with a vast expert knowledge,
familiar with the ministry's structure.
By assuming the new office, the new programme of incentives for
agriculture adopted by the government could bring results, the
Premier said.
The vacant administration minister office will not be filled for
the time being, he added.
Commenting on speculations about the government reshuffle, Matesa
said the idea of merging the immigration ministry with the
reconstruction and development ministry was not a secret.
Also being considered is the possibility of expanding the economy
ministry into the ministry of industry, power supply, and possibly
tourism, the Premier said, adding these are only ideas. When the
government reshuffle programme is completed, the public will be
notified, he said.
