After the five-hour talks, the minister said that everything but the new financial obligations from the state budget could be on the agenda of the talks.
"We shall see whether we can take some other measures to improve conditions for farmers," he added.
Protesting farmers' leader, Tomislav Pokrovac, said that what remained disputable were state subsidies.
"If no solution is achieved at the next round of the talks, we will probably have to take to the roads again," he said alluding to their blockades of roads by tractors and farm machinery in the past 15 days.
Another leader of disgruntled farmers, Zvonimir Pipic, said that the protesters were aware that their position at the negotiations with Minister Cobankovic would be more difficult after they had removed their tractors from roads in some parts of eastern Croatia on Friday.
Those protesting farmers insist on the elaboration of a 10-year state agricultural strategy, the payment of full state support to crop farmers and cattle breeders, the payment of state subsidies for certain crops by 15 September, a 50-percent cut in fees for land they take on lease, lower prices of blue-dyed diesel fuel awarded to farmers. rescheduling of loans they have been granted by the Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development (HBOR) and by commercial banks.
