Bridge (MOST) party president Bozo Petrov said in the northern Croatian city of Cakovec on Saturday that everyone in Croatia should be entitled to a dignified life which is why salaries must go up and "cosmetic changes the government has announced", namely a HRK 60 increase for salaries below HRK 6,000, most certainly will not help salaries go up."

Petrov once again commented on the measures the government had announced, saying that these cosmetic changes could not help Croatia and that the country needed radical changes.

“The Bridge party has already drawn up an action plan in the Public Administration Ministry to cut down public administration. The ruling structure has the possibility to absorb HRK 880 million from the EU to do that. Only after big cuts like this are done, we can expect the economy to grow, salaries and living standards to go up and then people will want to stay in Croatia,” Petrov said.
