Talking to journalists after visiting the Ericsson Nikola Tesla
company, Racan said he was an optimist, and that it was the unions'
democratic right to protest as they did yesterday.
The protest was held in front of the government building against
changes to the Labour Act, which union leaders said they would not
accept as they were an attempt to restrict workers' rights.
Asked if there was a chance that the price of electricity might go
down now that Croatia should start receiving it from the Krsko
nuclear power plant, co-owned with Slovenia, which journalists
estimate covers 17 percent of Croatia's consumption, Racan said the
government would support price cuts if they were possible.
