A BRIEF LOOK AT CROATIAN PRESS ON FRIDAY

ZAGREB, May 12 (Hina) - Today's VJESNIK leads with its coverage of the government session under the headline "Reconstruction Money From Budget." A report from the Parliament session is published under the headline "Labour Relations Act A Priority." Vjesnik carries an article on a visit by US ambassador Peter Galbraith to Western Slavonia. The other Zagreb-based daily, VECERNJI LIST, covers the government session under the headline "Return to Western Slavonia by Autumn." An article on the Parliament session says in part: "The opposition parties insist that the Government and trade unions reach consensus on the Labour Relations Bill because they believe that certain provisions limit workers' rights and that 50,000 workers will be laid off." Vecernji List includes an interview with special presidential envoy Miomir Zuzul ahead of a meeting in Paris between UN secretary general Boutros Boutros-Ghali and military envoys to former Yugoslavia and UN military commanders, and a meeting in Frankfurt of the Contact Group for Bosnia-Herzegovina. "Croatia's position has been strengthened significantly," Zuzul says, adding: "There are, in fact, no more serious pressures and nobody thinks that the situation in Western Slavonia could be restored to the situation before the (Croatian) action."
