He was speaking at a presentation of Golden Share awards. The ceremony was organised by the Zagreb Stock Exchange, Lider weekly, Croatian Radio and Television, and the Kapital club.
Commenting on the recent uncovering of corruption in the Croatian Privatisation Fund, Sanader told the business people at the ceremony that he was giving them his word that the harsh and determined fight against all forms of bribery and corruption would continue as corruption destroyed the market.
Sanader said political or party affiliation did not matter when organised crime was concerned.
When someone commits dishonourable acts, he is not committing them because he is a member of some party but because he is a dishonourable man and we shall put a stop to that, he said.
At today's ceremony the Croatian government received a special award for contribution to the development of the Croatian capital market following last year's successful public offer of oil company INA shares.
INA won a Golden Share of the Year award and the Industry Share of the Year award, while Raiffeisen Bank won a special award for contribution to Croatian capital markets.
Pharmaceutical company Pliva's share was awarded the Share of the Decade and Industry Share of the Decade awards. Zagrebacka Banka's share was given the Financial Share of the Year award.
