Commenting on farmers' protests, Hrg told reporters "the HSS offered ideas and solutions which nobody wanted to hear."
As for farmers' talks at the Agriculture Ministry today, he said, "It's good that there is dialogue, and it will be even better if (the two sides) hear each other."
Farmers yesterday began protesting by parking tractors along roads in several continental counties. They demand that Jakovina resign, claiming he has done nothing for agriculture and farmers, the payment of incentives for 2012 in the amount paid in 2011, and a meeting with Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic.
