Decrease fees on gasoline immediately, because new prices of gasoline are only an alibi for higher prices of electricity, heating and gas that are about to come, as the Trade Union Association of Croatia (SSSH) demands from the Government.

- ''Psychological limitation'' of the price on fuel is a variable matter, it depends on a purchasing power of individual: it hasn't been reached for someone who receives a salary of 20 thousand HRK but it has been exceeded yet for someone with an average salary - says Mladen Novosel, the president of SSSH.

In the last three years salaries have dropped for 3.3 percent, he adds, and pensions for 6.9 percent. The price of mixed vegetables for soup is eight Kuna and the price of transportation of passengers and goods will rise.

 It is unimportant for the Government, domestic incomes are not their concern, there are accounts in red and enforcements. A bus ticket to Varazdin or Losinj costs six Kuna for the member of the parliament - Novosel stated.
