ZAGREB, Feb 19 (Hina) - The vice president of the Istrian Democratic Assembly (IDS) and its parliamentary deputy, Damir Kajin, at a news conference in Rijeka on Thursday warned that parliament had not been in session for one month,
which he said showed that the new government lacked concrete measures which would set Croatia in motion. He stressed this would lead to the marginalisation of the parliamentary authority in favour of the executive authority and that it constituted avoiding to face the country's real problems.

If it is true that 21 billion and not 17.5 billion kuna has to be
serviced this year, than this is a cuckoo in the nest which the former
government has no excuse for planting, Kajin said. He added that it
was not normal for one government to burden the budget so much that
the new government had nothing else to do but to service that debt.
He warned that 60 million kuna was being earmarked from the state
budget each year for the health sector in Bosnia while at the same
time Croatian hospitals were in a dire state.
