CROATIAN GOVERNMENT'S SESSION

ZAGREB, Apr 14 (Hina) - The agenda of today's session of the Croatian government included issues of the implementation of the government's stabilization programme, the announced strike of teachers, and restructuring of the Croatian Electric Power Industry that is the public corporation. The session was held under the chairmanship of the Prime Minister Nikica Valentic. The Prime Minister stressed that annual inflation rate should be 12 p.c. by the end of the year and that the government would not allow that the budget could be exceeded. The government would not give up from its already planned economic policy, Valentic also emphasized. During discussion on the warning of the labour union of teachers at secondary schools that they would go on strike if their salaries were not be raised by 50 p.c., Prime Minister Valentic appealed to teachers to understand that the strike would yield no results, since there was no money for an increase in salaries. Deputy Prime Minister Borislav Skegro informed others of the fact that real wages in 1993 dropped by 8 p.c. in comparison to wages in 1992. But, wages in the last ten months have increased by 3.7 p.c. monthly, according to minister Skegro. A draft amendment to power industry legislation referring to the restructuring of the Croatian Electric Power Industry Corporation was accepted at today's session. 141728 MET apr 94
