Croatia unveils new job-saving measures

Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković presented the latest the Croatian government will employ support jobs during the coronavirus crisis and its aftermath. The new measures are focused on reducing working hours, and providing support to self-employed people and to micro-entrepreneurs.
