The President said that gender equality could not be achieved without the public sector and the government exerting pressure and that such positive discrimination is necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt has nothing to do with agreeing, it has to be done by pressure. Nothing will be achieved without quotas. Without such positive discrimination, under the patronage of the State, there is no progress. It is not done nicely, it is not done by persuasion. As we have done, and this has later become law, and not only included in party statutes, certain factors in society just have to be forced to behave in such a manner. Without government pressure in gender equality issues nothing can be achieved\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 noted. He feels that the present system is not bad, but without the State and the public sector \u201cthere would be no women anywhere\u201d. \u201cNothing can be done without the public sector and without State pressure and power and those who lead it.&#8221; Otherwise, each discussion will end with what we have heard here several times, which I do not support, is the story about profit and benefits for the shareholders\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 noted. He cautioned that large corporations act selfishly, greedily, in order to \u201cto put money in their pockets, as he said, and rebuy shares, then talk about women\u2019s rights. \u201cThis does not go hand in hand\u201d, MIlanovi\u0107 said, reminding that that this is not the case of the Zagreb Stock Exchange and Croatian companies \u201cbecause they are small\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n<!--GALLERY
