Dairymen: We ask for urgent replacement of the minister Jakovina

Text

- We ask for urgent replacement of the minister Jakovina since he is a complete liar and a corrupted deceiver who is not competent to handle his job. We don't want to negotiate with him anymore - said Darko Pavicec who represents a Crises unit for protecting prices of milk from the Croatian Alliance of Milk Producers Associations (HUSPM).

On the press conference dairymen reported about last night incident in Zagreb when some dairymen protestors were arrested. They emphasized that none of their 29 arrested colleagues weren't drunk. Dairymen are still persistent to continue their protest:

- The protest will continue until our demands get sustained. We ask the Government to bring a decision about further application of pro-memory about pricing of milk based on quarterly average in the EU 27. We also ask the Government to help sustainability of milk sector with 42 lipa per liter. That decision was abolished in November last year - said Pavicevic.
