"Unfortunately, the long-term estimate is one of unemployment growth, but it's good to see positive trends even if only in a short period," Josipovic said in Sibenik.
He welcomed every optimistic indicator.
As regards the government's economic measures, the president said that they were just being introduced and that one should neither be overenthusiastic nor embittered about them.
"I would say that the measures, in the way in which they have been presented, are a set of well-defined goals which are yet to be achieved," Josipovic said during his visit to the southern city of Sibenik.
