The ruling coalition is stronger than ever. This was stated by Prime Minister and HDZ President Jadranka Kosor after a meeting with the leaders of HSS, HSLS, and SDSS – Josip Friščić, Darinka Kosor, and Milorad Pupovac.
-I am personally very satisfied, and the most important agreement is that we will continue to work, stronger than ever, firm and determined to solve all problems, said Kosor. She added that the removal of Sanader from membership has only strengthened HDZ as a democratic party and a force in Croatia. When asked by reporters if she trusts those who stood behind Sanader, especially Luka Bebić, she answered affirmatively. I understand everyone, this is proof that we function as a democratic party, but when the majority in the Presidency decides something, it binds all members of that body and the party, she said.
She dismissed interpretations that she met with Interior Minister Tomislav Karamarko and Chief State Attorney Mladen Bajić yesterday because of Sanader. She stated that this meeting was arranged earlier but was postponed due to events in HDZ. She explained that she discussed with them the upcoming session of the Commission for the Suppression of Corruption. At that session, she added, they will analyze very concrete steps being taken in the fight against corruption. (www.hrt.hr)
