ZAGREB, July 7 (Hina) - Negotiations between Finance Minister Ivan
Suker and representatives of the Croatian customs officers' trade union on a
20-percent pay rise failed on Thursday, and therefore customs officers will go
on white strike from 08.00 am to 10.00 pm Friday. They will not stop
working but they will strictly apply rules which will cause long lines at
border crossings.
The union leader Zeljko Popovic told Hina today that the customs
officers would respect the dignity of passengers, as the purpose of their
action is not to cause chaos at the border but to send a clear message about
poor material position of customs officers.
