	CROATIA
		The government's report to CEDAW states that because women have been active in the wartime effort, they can be expected to "know how to achieve their position in the society in the peacetime." Yet, according to women's NGOs in Croatia, the political domain is almost exclusively controlled and defined by men.
		The lack of women in the government is seen as one of the reasons why state institutions and political parties do not address issues of concern to women and virtually ignore sex discrimination in all spheres of the society.
		In recent years the government (under pressure from the influential Catholic church) has actively promoted Croatia's "demographic renewal" and campaigned for slowing the decrease in the birth rate, claiming that the nation is threatened with "extinction." As a result a "Program for Demographic Renewal" was adopted by Parliament in January 1996.

	New Wave of Media Supression in Croatia
		However, recent developments would suggest that the freedom of press in Croatia is actually limited to such a degree as to warrant scrutiny of the claims made by President Tudjman's government that Croatia is a democratic, open and tolerant society.
		Government interference, therefore, is not a new phenomenon for the young state of Croatia., Some people believe that this interference is becoming more sophisticated.
		While government leaders may retain their power with the help of a suppressed, controlled media, it is the people of Croatia who will ultimately lose their dream of a democratic, open society if a free and independent press is not allowed to flourish.

	Excite UK - Travel - Europe - Croatia - History and Government
		In 1868, Croatia came under strong Hungarian influence; however, after the destruction of the Austro-Hungarian Empire during World War I, a new ‘Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes’ was created in 1918, later renamed ‘Yugoslavia’ in 1929.
		The fighting in Croatia, between the JNA and Serb militia on one side and hastily assembled Croat defence forces on the other, was ended by a UN-brokered ceasefire in January 1992.
		Croatia may therefore be able to join with the batch of candidate countries scheduled for entry around 2007/8, which includes Bulgaria and Romania: Croatia’s economy is in better condition than either of those, but the Hague tribunal problem has to be resolved once and for all.

		Furthermore, the reduction of the consolidated central government wage bill in 2001 is now projected to be HrK 766 million less than expected in August, mainly as a result of delays in staff layoffs and the full implementation of the new wage policy adopted in June 2001.
		In addition, we intend to reduce the government wage bill to the originally targeted level for 2001 as part of the 2002 budget-a task that will be facilitated by the full-year effect of the new wage policy, its pending extension to the defense sector, and early layoffs of surplus labor in the government.
