Nina Obuljen Korzinek

The Croatian parliament started its session with a minute of silence to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Thursday, while a delegation led by Deputy Prime Minister Boris Milosevic and Culture Minister Nina Obuljen Korzinek laid wreaths at the Mirogoj Cemetery in the capital Zagreb.

"Under labour law, it is the union that has the legal basis to negotiate with an employer about possible cutbacks. Basically, it's the one institution that we have with which we can fight for our rights, even in crisis situations like this, but also in situations where we are not in some kind of crisis," Sever said.

Government should protect media workers

Croatian non-profit media await a final decision from the country's culture ministry on the annual grants given for the electronic media, as well as hard copy magazines.

After many non-profit media on the left were left out of the financing scheme of the new Culture Minister, Nina Obuljen Korzinek, in December, many submitted complaints.
