ZAGREB, April 18 (Hina) - The Croatian government on Thursday
adopted a program for employment of demobilized Croatian Army
soldiers and a report on care for soldiers and war victims.
The government also sent a number of bills to parliament for
consideration, including those on customs tariffs and bankruptcy.
Since Croatian army operation "Storm" in August last year,
about 100,000 Croatian soldiers had been demobilized, of whom
almost 45,000 were unemployed, Deputy Prime Minister Ljerka Mintas-
Hodak said.
The government had drawn up an employment program for them and
was planning to finance it from the budget with 250 million kuna
this year. The funds intended for the reconstruction of the economy
and revival of liberated areas would also be used for their
employment, Mintas-Hodak added.
The customs tariffs bill proposed a substantial reduction of
customs rates from the current 1-35 per cent to 5-25 per cent. The
bankruptcy bill would reduce the currently excessive powers of
courts and official receivers.
