Dvodnevnim pregovorima su prisustvovali predstavnici Ministarstva spoljne trgovine i ekonomskih odnosa BiH i Ureda za veterinarstvo BiH, hrvatsko Ministarstvo poljoprivrede ribarstva i ruralnog razvoja i predstavnici Uprave za veterinarske inspekcije Hrvatske.

Ministar spoljne trgovine i ekonomskih odnosa BiH Mladen Zirojević izjavio je da je sastanak bio višestruko uspešan i da su rešena neka važna pitanja i problemi koji su eskalirali u poslednje vreme i rezultirali zabranom razmene određenih proizvoda i roba između BiH i Hrvatske.

"Hrvatska je donela nekoliko nelogičnih odluka i naravno da je BiH reagovala na to", rekao je Zirojević, prenosi tv Federacije BIH (FTV).

Objasnio je da su se problemi odnosili na uvoz mleka i mlečnih proizvoda iz BiH u Hrvatsku.

"Hrvatska je, usložnjavanjem postupka carinjenja i uvoza, kao i slanjem pošiljki iz BiH na dodatna laboratorijska ispitivanja dodatno otežala situaciju. BiH je uzvratila istom merom i zabranila uvoz mleka i mlečnih proizvoda iz Hrvatske u BiH i vrlo brzo problem je rešen", rekao je ministar.

Sličan problem postojao je i sa uvozom žive ribe i živih goveda iz BiH u Hrvatsku.

Na današnjem sastanku dogovoreno je da se o ovom problemu ponovo razgovara, a ministar poljoprivrede, ribarstva i ruralnog razvoja Hrvatske Božidar Pankretić izrazio je nadu da će i to pitanje biti rešeno u narednih desetak dana.

Pankretić je dodao da su sve zabrane bile isključivo rezultat usklađivanja hrvatske legislative s evropskim zakonima.

Godišnja robna razmena između BiH i Hrvatske iznosi oko 4,2 milijarde KM (oko 2,1 milijardi evra), od čega veći deo ide u korist Hrvatske.

Kriza je, između ostalih, teško pogodila i građane Mađarske, jer su oni u martu zaradili, u proseku, nešto ispod 400 evra, približno 20 odsto manje nego u istom mesecu lane, preneo je u elektronskom izdanju zagrebački "Večernji list".

Pad ili stagnaciju primanja imaju i druge tranzicione zemlje, navodi zagrebački dnevnik, potkrepljujući to primerima Rumunije, gde je prosečna zarada u istom mesecu bila još niža - 317 evra i Makdonije sa prosečnom platom od 319 evra.

Zaposleni u Hrvatskoj su, međutim, u trećem ovogodišnjem mesecu imali prosečna primanja od 5.367 kuna (oko 725 evra), što je najviši nivo zarada od maja minule godine.

Hrvatska kuna je ostala vrlo stabilna i u periodu oštre ekonomsko- finansijske globalne krize, za razliku od valuta nekih susednih zemalja (među kojima je i srpski dinar) koje su, tokom proteklih osam meseci, devalvirale i za više od 20 odsto.

Osim u Hrvatskoj, zarade zaposlenih su, doduše blago, uvećane i u Slovenij, koja je od 1. maja 2004. godine članica Evropske unije.

Zaposleni Slovenci su, prema podacima "Rajfajzena", u martu imali prosečnu zaradu od 922 evra, što je uvećanje od približno 2,5 procenta u odnosu na prethodni mesec.

Hrvatska će, ipak, pošto je vlada od početka ovog meseca smanjila zrade zaposlenih u javnom sektoru za šest procenata, ući u "negativnu zonu", prema visini prosečne zarade, procenjuje "Večernji list".

Ekonomski analitičar "Večernjaka" procenjuje da će se situacija u Hrvatskoj, kad je reč o zaradama zaposlenih i prikupljanju sredstava za isplatu penzija, narednih meseci ozbiljno pogrošati.

U aprilu je, naprimer, već zabeležen pad prihoda od penzijskih doprinosa za 3,7 do 7,5 odsto u odnosu na mart. Taj priliv opada usled pada zaposlenosti i smanjenja opšteg nivoa plata, kao i sve jače nelikvidnost u hrvatskoj privredi, konstatuje list.

Velika hrvatska javna preduzeća duguju šest milijardi kuna (oko 821 milion evra), što utiče i na sve veće kašnjenje plata. Od prošle jeseni se broj zaposlenih u firmama koje imaju problem da isplate zarade svojim radnicima uvećao na približno 60.000, ili oko trećinu u odnosu na raniji nivo, ukazuje se u napisu "Večernjeg lista".

Gradonačelnik Ljubljane Zoran Janković je rekao da će krajem juna u Stožicama, gde se gradi novi fudbalski stadion, biti organizovan "dan otvorenih vrata" kada će biti pozvani svi gradski odbornici i građani Ljubljane, koji žele da vide gradilište.

Slovenačko preduzeće Grep je pre godinu dana sa Deltom potpisalo ugovor u iznosu od 242,5 miliona evra za učešće u izgradnji sportskog parka Stožice u okviru kojega je predvidjen i veliki trgovinski centar.

Pomenuti ugovor je zatim, prvo izmenjen na sumu od 223 miliona evra, a onda njegov iznos smanjen na 208 miliona evra zbog izvršenih redukcija, koje se prvenstveno odnose na kvadraturu garažnog prostora.

Međutim, ni za ovako redukovanu ugovornu cenu kompanija Delta nije uspela da u roku uplati drugu ratu od 19 miliona evra zbog čega su Grep i grad Ljubljana odlučili da raskinu ugovor sa Deltom i potraže nove partnere. Nedavno se nezvanično u medijima kao jedan od novih partnera pojavilo ime austrijske kompanije "Supernova".
