protesting in front of the government building for 613 days after
they were sacked last year have said that they will put their
protest on hold. #L#
The protesters' leader, Filip Lacic, said at a news conference on
Saturday they would wait for the new government to be appointed,
regardless of the election winner, so that it could solve their
problem and announce criteria under which they were dismissed.
The policemen were dismissed after last year's reorganisation of
the Interior Ministry.
The police said they would submit to the new premier their request
for re-employment.
The protesters' legal representative Berislav Zivkovic recalled
that he had filed suits with the Constitutional Court and brought
charges against Interior Minister Sime Lucin for disrupting the
protest and for sending the police to intervene against them in
September last year.
Zivkovic said the protesters were ready to seek justice before
international institutions.
