Croatian Labour Minister Mirando Mrsic said on Tuesday that the true effects of the measures being adopted, namely a real drop in unemployment, was expected in mid 2013.
"Now we have a seasonal decrease of the number of the jobless and we expect the number of the unemployed to go up towards the end of this year. We expect the true effect of the measures we are adopting, that is a real drop of unemployment, to be seen this time next year. This means that more people will be hired than laid off," Mrsic told reporters.
