Croatia’s centre-left government is striving to end quarrels with the powerful Catholic Church over education in what is seen as a move to boost its tumbling ratings.
Vedran Molnar, the new Minister of Education, is to meet the Catholic primates of both Croatia and Bosnia – and assure them that the government has no intention of pushing religion out of the classroom.
“Croatia is a predominantly Catholic country and religious education has its place in schools,” he told the Croatian parliament on Monday in the discussion on his appointment as minister.
The new minister also said he held “a different view on every issue related to health and civic education in schools to the former minister” – Zeljko Jovanovic.

Bowing head to religious clergy for improving the political rating will result in total catastrophic situation. All over the planet where state distances itself from the religion, success follows that government. After having joined the EU, Croatian political elite has to realise this fact. Stand to the slogan, separation of state from religion. Let religion be the personal matter between creation and creator. This what Ahmadiyya is also promoting through out the world. Ensure no compulsion in religious matter and let every one to decide which religion to adopt. One can always get more guidance on the issue by visiting http://www.alislam.hr.
