VRPOLJE, Dec 30 (Hina) - About 300 peasants from the Vukovar-Srijem, Osijek-Baranja Pozega-Slavonia and Slavonski Brod-Posavina counties on Thursday staged a peaceful protest under the organisation of the Croatian Peasants' Alliance
(HSS), to warn about the difficult and unenviable position of the Croatian farmer and peasant. The peaceful protest lasted until 2pm. According to HSS vice-president Darko Grivicic, the Alliance organised the protest to warn about the Government's failure to fulfil a promise given during October's protest that it would pay the peasants stimuli and money for products. An agreement had been signed with Agriculture and Forestry Minister Ivan Djurkic, but nothing came out of it, Grivicic said, stressing the Government had since 1990 imported US$6.5 billion worth of food. Because of this and a lot more besides, we wish to, ahead of the elections, warn the Croatian people to take good care
VRPOLJE, Dec 30 (Hina) - About 300 peasants from the Vukovar-
Srijem, Osijek-Baranja Pozega-Slavonia and Slavonski Brod-
Posavina counties on Thursday staged a peaceful protest under the
organisation of the Croatian Peasants' Alliance (HSS), to warn
about the difficult and unenviable position of the Croatian farmer
and peasant.
The peaceful protest lasted until 2pm.
According to HSS vice-president Darko Grivicic, the Alliance
organised the protest to warn about the Government's failure to
fulfil a promise given during October's protest that it would pay
the peasants stimuli and money for products.
An agreement had been signed with Agriculture and Forestry Minister
Ivan Djurkic, but nothing came out of it, Grivicic said, stressing
the Government had since 1990 imported US$6.5 billion worth of
food.
Because of this and a lot more besides, we wish to, ahead of the
elections, warn the Croatian people to take good care about who they
will vote for.
We will not say who they should vote for, but we will clearly state
that they should not vote for those who brought us into
difficulties, Grivicic said.
