The new minister of Culture of Croatia, Zlatko Hasanbegović declared that in the last three years the Ministry of Culture employed 30 people through unidentified and unclear criteria. Hasanbegović did not clarify why the criteria adopted for the selection would be unclear, nor did he specify whether or not he intends to get rid of recently employed people considered “unfit”. He did not even provide explanation for the declaration according to which “media is a burden for the Ministry of culture”. Does that mean that there is no room for the elaboration of media policy by the Ministry of culture? Or rather that the media sector needs to be reformed?
